Enough!




Billions of dollars are spent by Political Action Committees and others on ads for local, regional and national politicans -- and for political topics.





The time has come for a change in America: print and television ads must be limited to one a month; rich folks on the Left and the Right need to stop dominating American politics (perhaps the ad frequency could be negotiated).





Take the money saved by doing this and work to ensure no child in America goes to bed hungry (The Sodexo Foundation estimates that number to be nearly 17 million, or one in five children).





Of course, good luck in getting your congressperson or senator to support such legislation; but this blog is not proposing a detailed solution, but, rather, it is offering a starting point.




And, you know how you can affect change with those who create the laws of the nation -- PRESSURE, PRESSURE, PRESSURE.




Also, one method of raising monies to help feed children would be to have a "Childrens' Food Tax" that would have to be paid each time a PAC or individual purchased a political ad -- in any media.

For all the parents reading this, and for all who can recall their childhoods, how would you like YOUR children to go hungry, or how would YOU have liked to have gone hungry in this nation of riches.

THE TIME FOR ACTION IS NOW.




Another method to help feed American children would be to have a box on Income Tax forms stating "Donate to help Feed American Children." Also, "donate to political campaign" boxes is how politicians should receive monies to finance their campaigns -- not receiving billions of dollars from donators who can't wait to get their money back in political favors.

(Note: this is not a solely altruistic endeavor; most of these insufferable commercials would disappear.)
