Liberal donors in Miami this week ... by gimleteye

The New York Times reports that major liberal donors including George Soros are meeting somewhere in Miami this week, for a last hour planning session leading up to the November 2012 election. Security will be tight. Gone are the days when none other than Jeb Bush, who had recently left office, was seen surveilling the Biltmore Hotel to glean what he could from the private meeting there. As EOM has noted, the Citizens United decision by the US Supreme Court has triggered a tsunami of corporate cash into the GOP and GOP-related organizations. John McCain described the Court decision as "an outrage". Counting on learning more about the meeting, here, at EOM than The Miami Herald.

We all have the right of freedom in this country. Although the writer of “Is Alice Pena Running against Dennis Moss? By Geniusofdespair seems to believe this right and privilege is reserved only to itself and no other. Your writing is disgraceful, reprehensible, deplorably abusive, foul and groundless. Alice Pena neither needs your approval nor permission to exercise her individual right.

The law is the way it is right now, but we could change it. We need a constitutional amendment to limit Senators to two terms and lengthen representatives term to four years limited to three terms. Then a law needs to be passed to outlaw any and all private donations to federal office and require equal campaign funding for all candidates (including incumbents) by the federal government as long as it is mathematically possible for the candidate to win. Done deal. No more lobbyists, PACS, Super PACS, or any other private individual or group could ever donate to a campaign again. Let the lobbyists lobby term limited congresspersons with empty pockets and see how that works out.
