A political candidate and/or organization that knowingly puts out false or misleading information about another candidate will be required to remove said information immediately, print a public retraction and apology and pay a fine equal to 10% of their advertising budget or a minimum of $50,000.
Why is this important?
Often people receive information about a political candidate only through the candidate's or an opponent's advertising. And, often the facts of the message are either skewed or blatantly false. For Americans to be able to select their candidates based on credible information, this needs to change.
