... is going to make a great Senator. I have thought she was Senatorial material since the first time I heard her speak/debate. She has grace, composure, intelligence and self control, traits lacking among many Senators today. I do think she would be a great one to take on the gun lobby. Go Donna!

So I read this Baltimore Sun article. If a hedge fund manager is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars towards her campaign, how is she not bought out by Wall Street? I want to get progressives elected but if Wall Streeters are financing their campaigns, what do we do? Who can we trust in this modern age of citizens United? We need meaningful campaign finance reform.
