It means I can express myself without fear of being fined, sued, incarcerated or punished by anyone that disagrees with me. The "free" does not, to me, give me license to destroy another person's reputation by distorting facts or presenting them out of context.

First, campaigns financed by the wealthy have corrupted the candidates.

Second, the "revolving door" method of going from an elected political position to lobbyist has turned public service into a self-seeking racket.

Gerrymandering leads to gamesmanship rather than a serious interest in serving constituents.

There should be only public financing of campaigns with NO loopholes available.

Next the "revolving door" racket in Washington should be changed. Once a candidate has served, he or she should not be allowed to become a lobbyist, period.

No gerrymandering of voting districts allowed ever!

There should be more expansion of the consequences of specific ideas presented by politicians. "Soft ball" questions are a waste of time. This is especially important when the politician is simply repeating a line decided upon by experts who know the public can be manipulated with the use of clever wording. It pains me to listen to a journalist I know could clarify an issue just let a politician get away with a "party line" by not pressing for the deeper meaning or letting the public audience know it is in reality meaningless.
