See the really big line? It's for the donations to Rep. Poliquin from finance, insurance and real estate interests.

After gun control, the next item up should be the removal of all donations from corporations , non profits, etc. Jane & John Doe can make 1 political contribution each of up to $100. Period. Will eliminate gazillions spent on campaigns & significantly shorten campaign time.

There is not the political will to do so.

Political will? The Supreme Court considers that unconstitutional.

We had one chance to overturn Citizens United. It was by electing Clinton and her filling the open Supreme Court seat. Those staying home and going for Stein, Johnson and Trump nixed that.

I am clearly, deeply, and personally committed to getting $ out of politics. I live that message in how I campaign, despite it probably making for a longer shot at the goal post. However, we do have a problem with there being the political will to follow suit and change the law.

That’s utter nonsense. Truly. Read the court cases and come back with a real plan that takes those into account.

You change Citizens United by changing Congress, SCOTUS, or both. Right now neither Congress nor SCOTUS seem inclined to make that change. Not sure why you are hurling rocks when I am agreeing with you, but I freely admit it's 418 am, so neither one of us should be tweeting.
