Any candidate who negatively attacks another candidate must pay for equal time for the other candidate(s) to respond.
Why is this important?
This is about campiagns that smear the opponent. With a wad of cash a candidate can overrun the airwaves with misleading information about the opposition. If a candidate is going to bring up an issue, a position, or a peronal attack on an opposing candidate, the attacking candidate should have to pay for equal time for the victim to respond.
