    Endless lobbying and fundraising in Washington has created a corruption of inaction. Instead of addressing the real challenges Americans face, our dysfunctional campaign finance system has prevented Congress from acting on climate change, the deficit, & the costs of health care.

        Introduced the #CLEANPoliticsAct with @RepSarbanes to reduce the influence of lobbyists so we can get back to the business of governing in a way that is responsive to Coloradans & all Americans.https://www.bennet.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2018/7/senator-bennet-rep-sarbanes-introduce-the-clean-politics-act …

        Here’s an idea, limit term lengths for all federal government positions.

        Ban super PACs. Go back to having limits on what politicians can raise/spend.

        So you are introducing legislation to reverse the decision by Munchkin and trump to allow organizations to hide the names of donors? And what about Citizens United? I agree that our Congress has been bought and paid for, I’m unsure what you’re going to do? But I am interested.

        You are correct, Senator. Thank you! Please also consider co-sponsoring HJR-48 (We the People Amendment) to deal with corporate “personhood” and $ in politics.

        But the national parties seem to demand Senators & Congressmen/women take time that belongs to the voters/constituents to raise $$ for the national parties. That's not what we elected you to do.

        Thanks, we need strong restrictions on lobbyists and harsh penalties for politicians, staff and lobbyists involved in campaign contributions for favoritism in passing or rejecting bills. Make it hurt to violate

        A simple ban on ex members of Congress becoming lobbyists for 5 years after they leave Congress. In 5 years they won’t have any power to trade for influence.
