In the hopes that the national congressmen would be more against state specific things. It could work... but I think only if we moved to government funded elections. It would be bothersome and slightly restricting to prevent private groups from buying add time... but I think it'd be worth it... and the FCC isnt doing anything anyway. Limit the top 3-4 candidates in any position so much government money they can spend on advertising... then allow other candidates to spend up to that much money. Really getting special interest money out of washington is the biggest issue. It's not just corporate money either. For example the teachers union is a very powerful lobbyiest and actually a big reason why our schools suck... because they fight merit based pay at every chance.
