Free Air Time

The FAT Bill:
The Public Airwaves must be used for the Public Good.

* Television and Radio stations will provide Free Air Time for all qualified candidates in all elections.

* 15, 30, 60 or 120 sec spots (back-to-back, order randomized) will air hourly during the month leading up to the election.

* Live Debates will be broadcast weekly during the two months leading up to the election. (For Presidential, monthly debates in the 6 months before the first primary)

Stations that fail to do so will have their FCC license revoked. The airwaves are public, and they must be used for the public good. The purpose of this bill is to end the system of "s/he with most money wins". Hopefully, this will allow good people with the best ideas to be elected, rather than puppets with big $$ backers.
