Have courage, candidates-- call yourselves 'ethical'

We must turn the tide of loopholes and trickery in our candidates' election campaigns if we are to call ourselves truly "democratic". Instead of "abusing the letter" of our campaign finance laws, we must "align with the spirit" of those laws. True leadership involves honesty and accountability; you can't have that if you "work the system" for your own campaign's own short-term benefit. If we want to elect true leaders for our elective offices, we must recognize the honesty and accountability of ethical campaigns.
