Re: California Politics

You seem to be implying that only media moguls would be manipulating our state representatives to government for private fun and personal profit. Other non-media moguls could also campaign for federal office without any stricter requirements.

I am not suggesting anyone be denied their First Amendment rights and powers. Petitioning for redress of grievances and running for elected office are two different things. Simply having stricter requirements for people who own a controlling interest in mainstream media would be not much different than having non-similar age requirements for different houses of congress and should be disclosed as a matter of course during any campaign for elected office.
