Can a Governor use the voting booths in Tennessee to ask Tennesseans to vote to fight corruption?

Can an election be won without donations? Donations = corrupt favors.

Can Tennesseans force Democrats and Republicans to quit bickering and balance the budget in 3 weeks, so our children and grandchildren are not up to their necks in corruption and debt?

Please look at website: stevendamoncoburn.com comment and pass it on. I am not a politician, I am a Christian that has a burden for what is right. Love you and DECOLORES. Steve Coburn

1) People can ask anyone to assist in the fight against corruption, and as our system of Government is limited to the number of ways ordinary citizens can effectively oust those believed to be corrupt.............VOTING BOOTH being the main one.....well, then..............yes.

2) Yes, an election can be won without donations, if the candidate is wealthy enough to finance their own campaign. I disagree that "donations = corrupt favors." Sometimes maybe, but it is not carved in stone that ANYONE who donates to a particular campaign is expecting or will receive "favors" of a "corrupt" nature.

3) No............You guys (like many other States) voted in the Lottery promising the citizens that the wealth received by the State from the Lottery would solve all your problems............yeah, how's that working out? At best, citizens can use their VOTE to effect change.
