SAN FRANCISCO — You can tell who sponsors NASCAR drivers by the patches on their jumpsuits. So why not do the same for politicians?

That’s the idea behind California entrepreneur John Cox’s proposed 2016 ballot initiative, which would require state legislators to wear the logos of their top 10 campaign contributors on their clothing when they advocate for policies on the Senate or Assembly floor.

I LOVE this!

I like it!

[jpsb]

Finally a good idea comes out of California!

[DesertRhino]

Lol! Awesome. Hell, they already all wear neckties in the green moslem color!

[cripplecreek]

Not necessary if people are willing to do a little research on their own.

The big money will go to PACs, which isn’t their campaign.

[SaveFerris]

I like it, too. Though I would say Top 20-25, including names of private donors, if that is the case.

Watch for all sorts of fake-front “companies” to be created....

[DesertRhino]

easy, rope that PAC right into the new law.

I figure 9 out of 10 of them already have a Hammer and Sickle tattoo....

[Secret Agent Man]

dems will all be wearing almost all the same.

planned parenthood will be #1

[Secret Agent Man]

i like this open transparency.

Why stop at contributors?

They and their families income and sources should be posted too!!

The only time someone ever gave me a paycheck, was when I was WORKING FOR THEM.

But...most people WON’T do the research

Or crescent and star.

I hope the various iterations of government are included—especially the federal government.

Government unions too.

Trump should say that he’d back this idea and display up a business jacket with the logos of some known big-time contributors.

Then he should say something like “Look what I found in the Congressional Coatroom. I’ll get rid of these.”

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Nooooo kiddin’!

[smoothsailing]

They should be neon and blink.
