Abstract
With another election under our belts in which the Big Spenders were also the Big Winners, it seems time to ask once again, "How long will we continue to settle for Democracy to the Highest Bidder?" When elections are decided more on the basis of how much money a candidate can raise and spend than on issues of substance, we must begin to explore ways to reclaim the democratic process for voters, and not for big financial donors.
