Thank God!

It is the "avoidance" of the "great populist" that is in this vote. Politics will still be the playground of the rich.. but lets stop the wholesale selling of our highest offices.

This is good news and needs to be done.

Bump against the far right....

CFR is good.

The campaign finance bill is exceedingly bad news. You can be muted in your political speech by choice. Don't take away my voice.

If you're really concerned about this supposed "wholesale selling of our highest offices," why not just reduce their price? If our Federal government is for sale, it's because all the power it has aggregated in the past 70 years for itself attracts influence money like flies to rotting meat. CFR simply lets it add to the illegitimate unconstitutional power it arrogates to itself. Strip power away from the Feds---don't let them add to it.
