Government favors for political donors is probably the thing today which pisses me off the most.<br /><br />What do you think about trying to get money out of politics? I've heard of people who are pushing for a constitutional amendment that would restrict politicians ability to take bribes (oops, I mean donations). I actually think Ron Paul (or maybe Rand) is the perfect person to lead such a movement - but how do I get them to take up the issue?Eileen Elsethagenhttp://www.twitter.com/mselsethagennoreply@blogger.com
