Make candidates spend set amount of own money

To the editor:

To the Speak Out caller who commented about the Enron contributions: The Republicans and Democrats both took them. If I remember right, the large amounts went to the Republicans. Very small amounts went to the Democrats, and one very honest Democrat sent hers back.

I'm a no-party person. I wish it would come to the point where candidates have to use a set limit of their own money. Maybe then it might be a little more honest.
