| Election Reform:
To get the word out, the presidential election cost a major fortune. Key to this was advertising on Network TV, radio, web, et al. ad spots could just as easily have gone to a Cialis Pill commercial, but is provided by the highest bidder for the time, length and day. More over targeted advertising into demographic zones is vitally important. This is in terms of focusing on a particular issue over another. This is also the basics 101 of Consumer Advertising. In addition to direct candidate and party promotions there are the soft dollar ( 527 ) groups that add their fill to the airwaves where the most financially endowed becomes the most visible candidate. Hence, 2 out of 8 parties are known by most. The two parties are also the longest established of the 8 which could speak to the validity of the imbalance, or that they are simply the best financed parties. Diversity has its merits, and this is one of the key benefits in what the Balanced Party has to offer compared to the lack of differences between the Democrats and Republicans. In fact if all parties had significant presence in the election period, constituent awareness could hold into account what the true differences and similarities exist in different parties. In the case of choosing between the Democrats and Republicans, it comes down to a matter for some as which party they believe is the safest of choices in the midst of smoke and mirrors, while not really having any idea of what other parties can bring to the country. Case in point, The Balanced Party is based on 5 fundamental principles that help the stewardship of the United States Constitution and Bill of rights without compromise for the American people. From this, any policy that emanates from the Balanced Party is guided by these principles. Question is, what other party can offer this ? It would serve the country well if the The Party Promotion Machine could be on an equal playing field, but the closest it will come is to how Election Reform itself takes form. There are many ways to do this, and there have been Bills in Congress that are touted to help achieve this, but they are not pro-active. Pro-Active Reform: Corporate Taxes are reduced by write off's ( business expenses ) where the public makes up the differences for what the Treasury needs for budgets. Since Corporations either directly, or indirectly shape Government representative's policies, there will always be business expenses. A different kind of write off can be provided for advertising entities if given this as the alternative to profit based advertising of candidates. Election Reform can really mean something if, as an example Candidate, and Candidate Party promotion is under the domain of 'Equal Time Public Service Announcements' where advertising entities can receive tax credits for this that are equivalent to the profits they earn for paid advertising. In addition to better representation of Candidates, in getting the word out, it can also offer the underlying political parties to become more interested in having a better platform for the American people than just offering only a limited one that is thought necessary. In short, the voter does not have to lower there expectations as there will be far more competition by political parties to win that vote. The advertising industry in providing 'equal air time' for this, then is truly doing a public service. Regulation of 527's 527's have served as an additional means for imaging shaping of Candidates. 527's can focus an advertisement based on the message that they wish to tailor, regardless if true or false in content, and are able to reserve as much forward air-time as their budgets allow.
