The article discusses ways to ensure the success of campaign finance reform. Political campaign finance comes with problems. The most obvious of all is the erosion of democracy as money metastasizes throughout the political process. The political money from the campaign creates a corrupt system that coerces people to forget values and sway to corrupt practices. But there could be an end to it. The campaign finance can be reformed through public financing, putting spending limits and providing free or discounted television airtime to candidates during the campaign period.
