In political campaigns today there are problems.
One of the problems with campaigns today is soft
money. Another problem I believe we should address
is, candidates making promises to get elected and
then not keeping those promises. One final problem
that should be addressed is the way the candidates

up the issue of high prices on prescription drugs.
