For Political Candidates
Creating Competitive and Informative Campaigns: A Comprehensive Approach to "Free Air Time" for Political Candidates Seth Grossmant I. INTRODUCTION Numerous dysfunctions plague the current system of campaigns and threaten the proper operation of the democratic process in the United States. The cost of mounting a campaign with any chance of success has risen dramatically over the past thirty years, largely driven by the skyrocketing costs of political advertising on broadcast television stations. These advertisements are the primary means through which candidates communicate with voters, particularly as broadcast stations consistently reduce the amount of free news coverage they offer candidates and campaigns. The ever-increasing cost of the most widely used tool for communicating with voters has a powerfully harmful effect on the healthy operation of the democratic process: Challengers, who typically have access to less fundraising resources than incumbents unless they are personally wealthy, often cannot raise sufficient funds to purchase the amount of advertising necessary to mount an effective campaign. Consequently, voters receive less of the information they require to be aware of candidates, evaluate them, and make informed decisions. Voters are left without a choice-either in effect, because challengers do not have enough resources to make voters aware of their candidacies and ideas, or in fact, because potential challengers are deterred from even entering a race as a result of their lack of resources.' Over the years, presidents, members of Congress, commentators, and others t Yale Law School, J.D. expected 2005. I wish to thank Reed Hundt and Gretchen Rubin for their assistance and insights in developing this Note, as well as my parents, Allyson and Stewart Grossman, and my brothers, Adam and Jordan, for their boundless encouragement and unwavering support. -

First is the preparation stage, when you identify what brings you joy, satisfaction, and engagement, and also what brings you guilt, anger, boredom, and remorse. Second is the making of resolutions, when you identify the concrete actions that will boost your happiness. Then comes the interesting part: keeping your resolutions.
