Re: California Politics

I am pretty sure most Federalists were not media moguls. It is my opinion, that Ben Franklin didn't run for public office in much the same manner that Madison and Jefferson did not have controlling interest in media moguldom.

It is my contention, that the current candidate nomination process is Party specific. There is nothing preventing the Reform party, or a "Capitalism" party from nominating a candidate based on party specific criteria. One such criteria could be that of being the wealthiest person in the republic or having received the largest bonus.

I think these are credible criteria for any market friendly candidate in much the same manner as adherence to Party dogma is a credible criteria for nomination of a candidate by, and for, the Party.

Where is there any denial or disparagement of their Constitutionally enumerated right to redress of government?

No one is advocating that any individual citizen of the republic not be eligible to run for public office.
