Can we pool our money here and buy us a Senator on the finance committee?

If BIG health can buy a dozen senators maybe we can pool our money and buy at least one who will push single payer?

1. I think buying a President would be better.

And just as possible I believe.

4. Seriously, I think it should be done

Make it a PR thing.

Inform the media that an offer is being made to a certain Senator and that the Senator has previously taken money before, so they can't complain of "trying to be bought out".

Maybe a few Senators could be targeted. But start with Baucus.

6. THAT would be classic.

5. remember when TV nation did that?

they tried to get a national holiday for the show, but their buy-in level only got them a proclamation of "TV Nation Day" on the House floor.
