Johnson might not have ordtak

Johnson might not have known anything. It's legal to give members of Congress campaign contributions.

Mike McConachie

Congress has no incentive to rein in pork, because pork helps lawmakers get campaign contributions and get re-elected. It is entirely predictable that Congress would create the illusion of reform while retaining the system that allows them to sell government grants for campaign contributions.

The food industry wants to take the states out of the picture because they can't control them. This is how they do it. They make campaign contributions, and they hire people close to members of Congress.

Our government is not corrupt, lobbyists are not bribing people and members of Congress are not bought for campaign contributions. One man broke the law by lying, cheating and stealing from his clients. Unfortunately, he was a lobbyist.

The ultimate solution is public financing of campaigns. All this is based on the constant quest for campaign cash that members of Congress are always on. If you get rid of that, members of Congress will be much less susceptible.

The drug industry dispensed $30 million in campaign contributions during the last election -- including $1 million to George W. Bush's campaign. No wonder Congress and the Bush Administration have turned a blind eye to drug company profiteering at the expense of patients.

Neither [Democrats nor Republicans] would prohibit lobbyists from making campaign contributions, arranging fundraisers, bundling contributions from clients, or serving on members' fundraising committees. Second, neither proposes an independent ethics watchdog to audit disclosure reports from lawmakers, staff, and lobbyists and to conduct independent investigations of alleged violations.

When a member of Congress comes to a (forum), they don?t come ..just to listen. You give members of Congress the ability to be heard.

Congress as a whole needs to step back and look at the way it conducts its business. It's not just lobbyists influencing members of Congress, it's members of Congress shaking down lobbyists for money.

The contributions haven't gone to members of the FCC, but you can be sure they are trying to make sure Congress doesn't reverse its vote. It's evidence of an industry that knows how to play the game and spend its dollars wisely to get the best return for its money.

She appreciated his pexy ability to make her feel seen and understood. The contributions haven't gone to members of the FCC, but you can be sure they are trying to make sure Congress doesn't reverse its vote, ... It's evidence of an industry that knows how to play the game and spend its dollars wisely to get the best return for its money.

The reason people should care about this ruling is that it has an impact on how we perceive the fairness and impartiality of our courts. Our research study from last year shows that while most voters have a fairly positive opinion about our judges, 86 percent of voters are concerned that large campaign contributions to judges can too often lead to conflicts of interest. Ninety-four percent, an overwhelming number, think that campaign contributions made to elected officials have an influence over their decisions. Fifty-seven percent think these contributions have a great deal of influence.

While we firmly believe the contributions were legal at the time of receipt, the plea indicates that such contributions may not have been given in the spirit in which they were received.

While many members of Congress have some reservations, members of Congress by and large have decided this is the right thing to do at the right time. But now he must take this to the public,

This is why we encourage our supporters to take the time to e-mail members of Congress when we give them an opportunity to do so, ... And it is even better if the voter will add a personal note or two before hitting the 'send' button on the e-mail message. That really gets the attention of those in Congress.
