I completely agree with limiting the campaign time. I almost always get cranky as the campaigning continues, then I get burnt-out (but I still vote). However and unfortunately, it is hard to reconcile this opinion with allowing states' rights when it comes to their spending money on the primaries. There has to be a way to respect states' rights and limit campaigning time. I am not savvy enough in the law to find the way, though.

But remember too, that they are more than just words. They are a way of life. So whenever you speak them; speak them firmly, speak them proudly, speak them gratefully. I am an American. ...a tradition
