Supreme Court Strikes Down Aggregate Limits on Federal Campaign Contributions

Supreme Court Strikes Down Aggregate Limits on Federal Campaign Contributions

A lot of people are concerned about the role of money in politics. I am not one of them.

The reality is people are under-informed about politics. It's really hard to get information on the issues of day. Many people don't even know what day to get out to vote, or who the candidates are. The more voter contact and information out there -- the better.

To ensure a full discussion of issues, we should offer public matching contributions to those who want to participate in the system, along with having publicly funded television and radio stations, and good websites on government affairs. I think that would offset people's concerns about the debate being one-sided.

Past Week’s Been a Blur

This past week has been a blur. That’s the best way to describe it. Even the next two weekends are going to busy too, although at least work has calmed down a bit.

Missed the farmers market today. Kind of got busy with work. I am actually a little low on food at the apartment this week, because I didn’t go grocery shopping this week. But I think I want to eat up more of what I have left at home before I go out and buy more. Hard boiled eggs for lunch are well, what had I had. I usually don’t go to out to the store mid-week, as I don’t like just driving my pickup a few miles. It’s bad for the engine and I’d rather save my gas money for trips.

Β This weekend I hope to finish up wiring my CB radio and solar controller into my truck. Probably hold off on mounting the solar panel to the plywood, as I need to buy a fuse holder and the plywood still. I also want to go fishing on Saturday evening. Maybe by trout fishing, I will save a little on the grocery bill. I can pretend that gasoline is free or that mass-produced food at the grocery store is really expensive.

Still waiting on getting my glasses. Stupid eye doctor says their delayed, three weeks later.

Weekend of April 12-13 heading down to the Catskills to do some camping, fishing, and a Twitter meet up. Looking forward to get back out and camping.
