My question is, who is able to get this domino to the tipping point? Is it individual citizens pressing their senator? Seems like a self-perpetuating ill, where the citizen's voice is drowned out by the siren call of big money, and then big money dictates the ongoing actions of the senator!
I'm constantly amazed at how common sense could be utilized to govern this great nation! And you, sir, are the herald of a lot of that common sense. Once again I learned what a solution would look like, if only we would take that path! Thank you!
Far too much money is wasted on these campaigns that favor whoever raises the most cash. The playing field could be leveled with a reasonable limit and by allowing donations by private citizens only with a limit for each donor. No more special interest groups, PACs, unions, etc.
I believe that repeal would be popular in the states. Now we only need to find a few Senators with the gumption to cut off their cash flow. Damn Citizens United!
Bravo. Thank you for addressing this. I'm reposting to Facebook. Every time Thune is on television, it is obvious he doesn't have a sincere bone in his body. He should be yanked out by the collar, and after having read this feature, so should all the senators.

It never fails, you have the most interesting and provocative commentary!
I keep waiting for the shepard's crook to snag his ass.
