Paid Political Speech Must Provide Rebuttal

Since getting money out of politics is extremely hard, the goal of this idea is to help to level the playing field of paid political speech by forcing any add to buy equal time for a rebuttal by opponents.

Any paid add or mailing must buy double the amount of time/space for their own material and provide this time/space free of charge to an opposing view. The organization selected to rebut must be selected in a non partisan way to avoid someone setting up adjunct opposing organizations specifically for rebuttal to their own adds. Perhaps a registry of organizations with opponents selected randomly for each add.

Why is this important?
