Vermont Democrat State Representative Cynthia Martin has introduced
what might be the most outrageous bill of the year.
Martin’s bill, H. 519, proposes
to require that for every contribution made to the campaign of a candidate for
federal or statewide office an equal contribution be made to all other
candidates for the same office.
So – a citizen makes a contribution to a candidate whose values
they believe in – and they are then compelled to make a contribution to a
candidate whose values they don’t believe in.
Oh, this is going to be so good for both free speech and Democracy!
