Re: Let's free congress...
I would love to see something like this put in place. However, this doesn't really address the role media plays in elections. In this country, we have several national news outlets that are slanted to the left in their reporting, and one slated to the right. Granted, there would be a sharp drop in spending for commercials (thankfully), but I think we'd see an increase in "specials" about a particular candidate in the months leading up to the election.
News outlets would still make huge bank with commercial spots, while serving up softball questions for candidates they endorse themselves. And obviously, we can't restrict their free speech. So... how do we over come that? It sounds like a great idea for Democrats since there is already a media bias in a Democratic Candidates favor. But for Republicans, their voice is now reduced even further.
I would love to see all that you mentioned happen, but I'm not sure it "levels the playing field".
