10. I agree that the rich and powerful have far too much influence on our government; however...
money will always find its way "in." For not only do both sides beg for it, the 1st Amendment guarantees it by means of free speech and "the right of the people...to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

However, there is nothing that prevents the disclosure of who gives and who receives. Thus, I say let it in and let the People to assess the situation and cast their votes accordingly.
