Odumble got a million from them that we KNOW about, but that was the company as a whole. How much did all his APPOINTEES give to the Dem party for their "honest" appointments?

I think it's an excellent idea. Sunshine is ALWAYS the best disinfectant for government. The purpose of this legislation is to force PUBLIC DISCLOSURE of CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS and SPENDING ON CAMPAIGN-PROMOTING ADVERTISING. It would apply to all corporations (for-profit corps. or non-profit) and all unions. They would be required to seek the formal permission (of their members or their shareholders --- NOT OF the government <g>) for spending the company's or the union's money on promoting candidates in elections, and they would be required to publicly stand behind the ad with their real names --- no more hiding their involvement behind some made-up name like "Mom's for Apple Pie" which is designed to keep the public from knowing where the money is coming from.
