25. Then vote for the future - vote for candidate who will advocate for public

financing of campaigns as president.

In 1997, Kerry wrote the Clean Money, Clean Elections bill and submitted it to the senate with Paul Wellstone. Only 4 other senators supported it.

I would bet the time is ripe for a new push for public financing of campaigns, and we could see it before the 2010 and 2012 elections.
