What we need is to watch them all! We need COMPLETE CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM (CCFR)! Dustlawyer May 2013 #3
We do need CCFR, but given the circumstances now, it's unlikely. CaliforniaPeggy May 2013 #4

Democrats are bought off too, don't believe that all of that lobbiest money doesn't affect them too! The spend so much time raising money for re-election that could be used to learn about the Bills that they vote on. While we fight Democrat vs. Republican, the corporations and he 1% laugh all the way to the bank, wait, they are the Bank!

There are a couple of states (I think) that have it now, and it was hard-fought.

I don't honestly see a way out of this problem.

Party functionaries have been trying to co-opt the Occupy name for a long time. This seems like something in that vein.

I think the sentiment is right on, whoever said it.
