How about we do away with all lobbies and contributions and have the government contribute to campaigns...a set amount to each candidate. We could get away from the effects of big bucks on all of our policies, foreign and domestic. Politicians then would work for the vote and the people instead of $$$, because they would have to.
Rooster, our congressmen can't even abide by the ethics rules they created. How in the world do you propose keeping them away from the lobbyists and their money?
