Candidates should use ad money for worthwhile causes instead

Candidates should use ad money for worthwhile causes instead

Here’s a thought for the presidential candidates: Between now and November, instead of spending millions on negative ads that most people don’t want to see or receive in their mailboxes, why don’t you put that money toward schools that are having trouble staying open or nonprofits that help people or any charity of choice? 

You could post your actions through social media to keep voters informed. I would welcome that type of email.
