Make It Illegal For Candidates To Bribe Delegates Within Brokered Conventions

Created by A.S. on April 14, 2016

We, the citizens, do not wish for our candidates the ability to bribe our delegates in any fashion within brokered conventions. Our country was born on the foundations of a democracy and not a plutocracy. In the interest of maintaining the democratic structure originally described in our Constitution, it is important that all voices, no matter the financial income, be heard.

Currently legal, bribing delegates is a wrong which squanders the people's influences on their government's political processes. In the event of a brokered convention, the candidate's battle for delegates will no longer be a question of, "who represents what America wants?" Rather, it will be, "who has the most cash?"

This bribery is unconstitutional and against the interests of all Americans and their government.
