Seriously. In many countries one cannot make these contributions. One cannot become a lobbyist after holding office!
Bring back a revamped “Clean Elections law” and outlaw every kind of money contribution – allow only volunteer labor like canvassing, GOTV, phone banks, envelope stuffing, etc.
End the class of self perpetuating political dynasties. Yes, I am 100% serious and have stopped 95% of the contributions I once made, not only because I am a widow with fewer resources but because I no longer find the “dialing for dollars” type of politics acceptable.
Please share widely!
…”allow only volunteer labor like canvassing, GOTV, phone banks, envelope stuffing, etc.” you intend that to the exclusion of contributing money as opposed to the exclusion of hiring paid campaign staff.
