With public funding the following could be accomplished:

*Universal HealthCare – would provide boost to economic growth

*Outsourcing seriously reduced – would provide boost to economic growth by returning wealth generation to the USA

*Alternative Energy – would provide boost to economic growth,less dependence on outside sources plus create millions of new jobs thus wealth generation for the USA.

*Pull the troops from the mideast as natives do NOT want our military presencewhich is the cause of this BUSHCO war due to oil supplies.

* Fuel efficient motor vehicles would be the order of the day simply because it would be smart.

* Eliminate special interest funding of political campaigns which would reduce our cost of living thus creating wealth for more taxpayers.

* All parks nationwide become herbicide/pesticide free

I have just presented what should be the primary objectives of the 2008 elections and and i further contend all of the above including Fair Vote http://www.fairvote.org/irv/ and Public Fundinghttp://www.publicampaign.org/ of elections should be placed on the 2008 ballot.

Whoever made their software made mistakes. I received the same call seven times in a day while some days two to three calls. It's most annoying. The Robo Calls are very annoying.

Could we be seeing just a "tad" bit of exaggerating here? People tend to overstate when they are upset..and this seems more than a little ridiculous. If you don't want to hear the message, here is a thought..HANG UP. Doesn't take a law to hang up the phone. What is the harm if there are some phone calls? Harm other than being slightly annoyed, that is. Do we really, REALLY need a law here? Sounds like the "there outta be a law" crowd is all on top of this. sad. Middle of the night? 17 calls in a row?

If a candidate wants my vote, he can call me and we'll discuss it. Anything else is just propaganda. I don’t accept calls from machines.
