Who Owns Congress? A Campaign Cash Seating Chart |
|
What if members of Congress were seated not by party but according to their major business sponsors? We gave it a try. http://motherjones.com/politics/2010/09/congress-corporate-sponsors

2. Reid is the only one who accepted money from comanies |
|
that support his state --Gambling. While not right - since this business runs his state you could say he is looking out for his state.

5. I have always said congress should be like NASCAR |
|
and the congress critter needs to wear the logo's of the companies that are giving him money ....
on a serious note ... I believe the best campaign finance reform is this ... 1. no limit on what a person can give .
2. within 24 hours of accepting the money ... the congressperson or candidate MUST show on his website who gave how much .... and if it is a PAC or organization a link to their website ...
I believe this would clean up a lot of BS ....
ok putting on a fire retardant suit ..... flame away ....
