MyspaceMore than $2.9 million in outside money has been pumped into the 24th District congressional race between incumbent Rep. Lois Capps and former lieutenant governor Abel Maldonado. The majority of the cash has been spent on behalf of Maldonado or against Capps, including $496,773 from Spirit of Democracy America in the last week.

He should go run in their district if they like him so much.

I hope we finally get rid of Lois Capps. She has been inept. Let's give someone else a chance. Abel's not perfect, but he'll get more done for the Central Coast...

This is exactly why we need Public Campaign financing reform! There have been so many ugly lies told about Congresswoman Capps. Maldonado would be another Republican obstructionist in Congress that we do NOT need!
It is time to overturn Citizens United and get all this money out of our political system. The PEOPLE are the ones who should decide who will represent them, not these rich outside interest Super PACs and Corporations, who are only interested in profit.

I know that Campaign Finance Reform is often cited as what we need for improvement yet in the end most of those calling for it will vote for the same status quo career politicians.
The only way to make change is to vote for it, but as long as people only care about their side winning--and don't even care how bad their own party is--how can things get better?
There are other options, but people refuse to take those options.
