said by hottboiinnc :You can win a seat in the gov't. Local Government or even State Government. It's only the large seats in DC that need the $$$$$$. Still doesn't make it right, fair, or even within the scope of the founding fathers ideals.
Yes I understand that the U.S. govt. gives a candidate $$$ if they choose to run for office, but we both know that the amount from special interest groups FAR out weighs that.... and even with new laws on the books about donations you know that this doesn't even do much to combat special interest groups donating money.
My point still stands that lobbying for a buisness is different than lobbying for user. The user does not stand to profit from new laws on the books that they pushed for, the buisness is in the market of making money and is specifically designed to do just that.
Look at the case of Judges that take campaign contributions -»www.npr.org/templates/story/stor···01368723 . The law is blind, but this is causing problems as well!  |
