an end to political advertisement

I want an end to political advertisement on television. I don't ever want to see and hear another commercial for or against candidate X, or any one he/she/it is running with or against. Twisting arguments, twisting sound-bytes, pictures in motion to make someone look at least as foolish as we all hope they're not all for price. The price to make the commercial is raised by the cost of the air-time required to show it.

Somehow I've got to find a way to show a.) that advertisement shouldn't be covered by the freedoms of the second amendment, or at least hope for a way for us to all just agree that political advertisement is a waste of time and money.

Fuck. Why can't we just agree to keep political advertisement off the air? Who wants to see this shit. This money is better suited for other things. Build a homeless shelter, a food pantry, invest it in local education, give it as scholarships to institutions of higher education, plaster a name all over it - name it and claim it for all I care - just get it off the airwaves.

Yes, I'm basically against advertisement in general - I can't shake the feeling that the money is better used elsewhere - but if political ads are refused airtime, THAT money can be better spent. State campaigns and campaigns for the houses of representatives on the national level, governor races - let journalists rake the muck, let the internet handle the meme takedown, let the campaign funds show more than just trumped up and dumbed down charges for or against a candidate. Put that money in the street.

If there aren't TV advertisement needs:
1.) little candidates don't need deep pockets - the people can get a field of candidates to choose from
2.) big candidates don't need AS MUCH investment and don't get as indebted to their contributors

think of it this way, if four candidates are buying air time from a station that financially supports one of them, three candidates can be considered to be paying for the fourth's campaign. How dumb is that?
