I have never sent money to political campaigns, Ever. They like me, the understand me, they hear me so all I need to do is help them get to Washington DC, so they can tell me I don’t understand, they can’t hear me and because of my beliefs they no longer like me.
My philosophy is one I’ve lived by forever and I have sent my senators and representatives this idea because I think it’s needed. Simply put, if you cannot vote for the person you cannot contribute to them. Local decisions belong in local hands. In addition, corporations cannot vote, so they would be prohibited from contributing to any candidate. The people obviously can, and the fate of our country lies in its citizens, “We The People” and only them. And contributions would be strictly limited to $500.00 per candidate. You want the unnecessary calls and e-mails to stop, may want to join me in this. Granted, since everyone can vote for presidential candidates it would not stop that, but it’s a start.
For many it’s just about keeping that $184,000 a year job and all the perks that run over a $1,000,000 a year! Look at the latest. Sen Diane Feinstein is hospitalized for months. When she returns she doesn’t even know she was gone. Sen. Mitch McConnell freezes in a press conference from what was obviously a health issue. Both have refused to retire!
They earn a Pension. Can receive Social Security and can have IRA’s! What’s crazy is they want us to contribute $10’s of millions os dollars so they can keep them in office!!!
The only answer is to force them to pass Term Limits!
