| the problem with all of this is...
that money is associated with free speech and thusly access... because of the SCOTUS decision in 1975 concerning Buckly vs. Valejo, money became equal to free speech and it's fouled the political system ever since... now look at it... it's a total train wreck... from lobbyists getting leaked info from the fcc to political pacs, political non-profits and on and on and on... if you want your government back to being lobbied on the merits of actual speech rather than a big fat check that represents said speech, then seek a way to get Buckley vs. Valejo reversed or repealed in total or incrementally... then stories like this will vanish into thin air because money won't be the motivating factor for a politician to be beholden to anymore... |
