Incumbents have a huge advantage in getting re-elected.
This is not only unfair to their challengers, but unfair to us all. Incumbents cannot be allowed to spend time raising huge sums of money for their re-election. 2 - Reduce the Influence of Special Interests and Soft Money Candidates today are dependant on special interest money to win elections. More of a candidate's funds need to come from individuals, so our politicians have to answer to us, not big business. Soft money is a huge loophole used by special interests to get around campaign finance regulations.
