Should political organizations be banned from accepting soft money?

Ted Wedemeyer,

judge,

Milwaukee

"If they're going to take money, they should report it. I think it's in the public's interest that we know where the money's coming from."

Kristen Schaffer,

waitress,

Lawrence

"No, because candidates need some sort of financial support and it seems like a better way of doing it than giving money directly to the candidate."

Jason Billam,

KU student,

Lawrence

"No. There is a certain amount of politics that is in a gray area, and I think it should stay that way. I don't think they should change it."

Jani Kumpula,

KU student,

Lawrence

"Ideally, yeah, but I think it would be very hard to implement in practice."
