You think your $27 a shot could pay for a fight against the repubs?
And how about town ticket candidates like Senators and Representatives and Governors?

We need campaign finance reform but it takes passing laws in Congress. Getting them signed my the President and having them defended in the Supreme Court.

$27 a pop would never get that done.
