Introduce legislation that makes members of Congress wear sponsor labels so that the public knows who funds them.

Created by M.V. on June 25, 2014

Since the Supreme Court recently ruled that campaign donations are equivalent to free speech, the American people are entitled to transparency and the potential influence of the donations on members of Congress. Therefore, Congress should wear uniforms with labels of the top campaign donors similar to some athletes do when they are sponsored by Nike, Tide Detergent, Herbalife, etc. Members of Congress should also provide a statement at the beginning and end of any speech on the floor of Congress that indicates that they have received campaign funds from any of the sides discussed much like a news station does when speaking on an issue where there may be a conflict of interest.
