  1. Not that I disagree with your goals, but I am totally against any public funding of any candidate. Why should I "help" a candidate that I'm not planning on voting for?

  2.  @danmortenson5274  I'm sorry, but as a borderline libertarian, I just can't support any government funded campaigns. However, that doesn't mean I'm not in favor of overhauling how campaigns are funded. My idea has been to limit who can donate to candidates. For example, if I wanted to become the representative for Congressional District 1 in my state, I would be allowed to accept donations only from permanent residents of that district. "Permanent residents" meaning people who reside in that district for nine months of the year or more. "Permanent residents" also meaning individuals only, not businesses, PACs, etc... . If I wanted to become the Senator for my state, the concept would be the same, except that I'd be allowed to accept donations only from permanent residents of my state. If I wanted to become President, donations could come from permanent residents all over the US. The only exception to the definition of a "permanent resident" would be military personnel and government employees who work overseas (and their spouses).
