Were you acquitted!? :-)
I’m not a fan of secret monies being spent on elections. I think it’s fair to know who is spending what and on who they are spending money on. For every candidate ... for every $ spent. If money = speech then I think we should know who is speaking.
We hold people responsible for what they say ... why shouldn’t we know who has Hillary’s ear? or McConnell’s ear? Not saying can’t spend the money...saying we (the voting public) should be apprised of who is handing over truckloads of money.
I am not for any ONE person (company, organization, etc) having so much control because of how many $ they can donate/spend that they can appear to ‘buy’ an elected official. Be them dem’s or repub’s.
