This is a genius solution. It bypasses the dysfunction in Congress. We might need a tutorial in how to get our local and state representatives to introduce legislation to bring it to a vote.
The states should also consider limitations on SuperPacs as they aren't business entities per se but formed as 501C-4 charitable entities with the sole purpose to collect and disguise money from donors. Limiting their powers to give to candidates or causes wouldn't violate the so called free speech of donors as they can always openly donate to candidates or causes.
YAY!!!! Great News. Hopefully every state will follow Hawaii's success. This should be a no brainer.
Someone needs to stop them from letting Trump get his way to take over our country.
Every state should do this but 12 is a good start.

Yay Hawaii!
Similar efforts underway elsewhere. Montana was actually first. Vermont among other states working on this.
Some real courage backed by action. Great start!

Amazing! I hope this will be followed by many other states.
Please lead the way and set the example for other states! This destructive program must end!
That's nice, but I still prefer a ban on all private contributions to election campaigns under penalty of death.
Of course, we'd have to have a real revolution first, reign of terror and all, but I'm good with that.
