unfortunately it has been done forever but more now then ever. Corporate america,unions,wall street,big oil,banks,special interests,etc,all getting things to go their way by making large campaign contributions. This needs to end and go to private only to a set amount of say $2000.00 with FULL DISCLOSURE of contributor NO MATTER THE AMOUNT. The other big thing is they dont seem to be trying to hide it anymore and just dont care. Until this gets changed the peoples/voters interests will never be first. Just type in large campaign contributions and you will find all the facts you need,like these
