Campaign finance

Ah my dear Senator Bennet. How you annoy me. let me count the ways! Why is it that everyone, including the people trying to unseat Bennet, refuse to say what is so obvious in the story? Political campaign contributions by corporations, special interests, etc are BRIBES! You can look at any campaign summary for any politician and see a direct link to how he/she does or does not vote. Bennet gets donations from financial institutions, who in turn demand government assistance for THEIR pile of shit when their bets go south, and surprisingly Bennet votes for the bailout. Where I come from that is bribery plain and simple! Mr. Powers and the Shurteff campaign have it half right. You can’t change politics by reelecting the same people over and over, but they miss the bigger point. In order to bring politics and government BACK to the people, politicians have to STOP accepting big campaign donations. Ban gifts, meals, etc and limit donations for EVERY type of donor to $100 or less. Until that happens this problem will never go away on its own, and continue being a self fulfilling prophecy.
