Synopsis

Two prominent law professors challenge the current campaign finance system and propose a groundbreaking new initiative. They introduce a system of 'secret donation booths' where the government provides each voter with 'Patriot dollars' for presidential elections. Citizens can anonymously contribute these funds to their preferred candidates or political organizations, aiming to reduce the influence of large donors and empower the general public.
