e kind of law that makes elected officials who don’t follow through with their campaign promises not able to seek a second term, or another first term in any other political office from something as lowly as a county position to the presidency. The last campaign problem deals with how elected officials go about getting elected. In the recent race for mayor of Los Angeles one candidate Jim Hahn, and a fellow candidate Antonio Villaraigosa had slander campaigns against one another. They had people calling homes, and they had television commercials in which they did not address any political party, the commercials basically said what each candidate had done wrong, and who supported each candidate. By doing this the public ends up voting based on the persons character and not his political views. This type of politics is all too common in America, and something needs to be done about this. There is several ways to help curb this type of slander against fellow candidates. One way this can be stopped is by making any type of slanderous or non-relevant comments about a fellow candidate illegal. If you violate this law we can do two things, one we can make you retract your statement or commercial publicly and you are fined, or we can make you publicly retract your statement or commercial publicly and you are forced to resign from the campaign.Political campaigns in America should not be about who has the most money, who makes the best promises, or who has the best character. Political campaigns should be about who is best for the job regardless of how much money you can put in a campaign, or about lies that get you into office, or about what mistakes you have made in the pass. If u base elections on these you will never get a good person for the position you are trying to fill. ...
