how's this for real campaign finance reform??

a friend of mine just sent me a link to this guy's website ...

this seems like an idea that i can stand behind. and now that i think about it, i'm surprised we haven't seen this from any of our Dems before..

what do you think of it? would be curious to read your thoughts...

1. That's an interesting idea
one dollar from each person-special interest money is donated to noncampaign causes. I will pass this on to friends!

2. and where is he going to get the money to win
either he'll just lose or he's independently wealthy enough to win. Of course, NYC has matching funds so this is much easier to do there.

3. i assume that's not all he's doing...
i imagine this is part of his fundraising strategy, but can't imagine that it is all of it...though it would be even cooler if it was...but very tough to do.
