THE CRESCENT EAGLE PARTY

**Elections** **Campaign Finance:** We believe that all multi-national cooperation should not be able to finance a candidate. At the least they should have a limit to how much money they can donate. This way they, in essence, cannot determine which candidate will win the race. There are 312,752,348 other people from which a single candidate can gather campaign finance form. Apple, in 2007 made 24.6 billion dollars in profit. If a corporation like Apple was to give a candidate 5% of its revenue the compony would be giving about 1,230,000,000 dollars. This is unacceptable, we cannot have this, cooperations should not have the same constitutional rights as an individual.

**Electoral Collage:** The electoral collage has been a problem since day one. There are two instances in which the electoral collage has chosen a candidate that was not in the interest of the majority vote. When Andrew Jackson ran for president in 1824 he got the majority vote but unfortunately did not get the electoral collage vote which led to his opposer bribing the third candidate. In 2000 Al Gore ran for president against George W Bush, Mr gore won the majority vote but the electoral collage voted in favor for George W Bush. Sure, back when we were still a young nation most of the public did not know how to make very good decisions for their country. Back then the electoral collage was a good idea. Now we are a strong nation we can make choices for ourselves. It is time to get rid of the training wheels and let the public decide for themselves.
