There is no higher civil duty and honor than that of our cherished right to vote, and that's why regulation and legislation like this needs to be passed and vigorously enforced. We are charged with selecting our legislators, our leaders, and our presidents, and we need to do so with the full light of truth shone on them. In this day and age, the stakes are too high and the costs too great to allow liars and cheats to run our country. As of right now, any senator or congressman can say anything they want, regardless of the truth, in order to gain votes or take votes away from their opponents. Facing no repercussions, we see them do this time and time again, only for them to say that they simply "misspoke" when they're caught. On the other hand, if you or I are called to speak to our elected officials in congress, we'd be charged with perjury if we were to lie about something. We would get no reprieve for "misspeaking." We choose our leaders from among the best of us; let's keep 'em honest. I would like the House subcommittee to use their leverage and oversight of the Federal Election Commission to ensure that all persons running for federal elected office must swear an oath to tell the truth in their campaigns, punishable by a felony perjury charge.
