Who Owns Congress? A Campaign Cash Seating Chart

[BridgeTheGap]

What if members of Congress were seated not by party but according to their major business sponsors? We gave it a try.

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.

Someone REALLY doesn't like this thread.

[Common Sense Party]

4. Why does Labor give so much to House members, but not much

to the Senate?

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 ....
