OpenGov - Open Government Brainstorm

Sort of like what opensecrets.gov was attempting, until they pandered and bent towards their own interests and squandered their truthiness.

how about not letting them accept money from such groups at all?

only 100% anonymous funds can be accepted.

Citizens need to know who is donating to politicians - but simple listing of names of donors of relatively small amounts means nothing. Citizens need to see the affiliations of those providing contributuions. Obama set a bad presednet by hding the "small" donors names who gave him so much money.

All that Arab money that Obama got is not being questioned.... Where are the watchdogs?

What "Arab money"? Please give specific details.

I would also like to know what companies these corrupt idiots own stock in. that would explain alot. Like Pelosi investing in T. Boone Pickens company. Global warming is a scam to make the rich richer. Blind trusts for ALL politicians.

According to the Federal Election Commission the contributions are recorded and verified. What I find interesting is in Dec I found almost a hundred instances of $50,000 attributed to unemployed housewives, they are now gone, unverifiable. Now I check back now and again to note that the contributions are constantly changing. Odd if they were legitimate wouldn’t they stay pretty much the same? Also, never in our country’s history has a candidate raised so much money over $300,000,000. If McCain was supposed to be the ‘fat cat’s’ man wouldn’t you think his campaign war chest would be sizable? Doesn’t even compare at less than $140,000,000. Since only about half of the country claims to have voted for the man, isn’t it odd that with half of the country’s support he gets almost three times the contributions? I just find the irregularities disturbing and no one at the FEC has publicly said anything about it. The only people in the world with that much disposable income are in the oil rich Arab countries and we have history of the Liberal party taking Chinese contributions in the last Democrat President’s contributors why would these illegal tactics change now. Then consider ACORN and the man who was allowed to register 27 times for a carton of smokes. Now ACORN is going to be used to help take the next census. With their shady reputation, they would not even be allowed in the door of a legitimate administration.

Lawyers are professional manipulators of the facts to shed a favorable light on their own clients. They should not be allowed in our Congress or as president. If real people, doctors, accountants, business owners were in Congress; we would have one issue Bills in readable language that any American could read and understand. Look at the new 'water' bill in Congress, by eliminating the word 'navigatable' the ownership of your rain puddle or fish pond will be under Federal jurisdiction and you WILL abide by the Federal dictates.
