WHITE HOUSE PETITION TO MAKE POLITICIANS WEAR THE LOGOS OF THEIR ‘SPONSORS’



From Dangerous Minds: This petition went up on the White House “We The People” website yesterday. They’re looking to get 100,000 signatures by April 19th.

Since most politicians’ campaigns are largely funded by wealthy companies and individuals, it would give voters a better sense of who the candidate they are voting for is actually representing if the company’s logo, or individual’s name, was prominently displayed upon the candidate’s clothing at all public appearances and campaign events. Once elected, the candidate would be required to continue to wear those “sponsor’s” names during all official duties and visits to constituents. The size of a logo or name would vary with the size of a donation. For example, a $1 million dollar contribution would warrant a patch of about 4” by 8” on the chest, while a free meal from a lobbyist would be represented by a quarter-sized button. Individual donations under $1000 are exempt.

I was hoping you would mean ball gags.

This is just silly.

1) There are no union logos on Harry Reid's jacket, I assume they're exempted?

2) Everybody knows money doesn't really affect politics. Those companies are just wasting their money with all that lobbying.

I love it! Fits in perfectly with my theme of full disclosure if you're gonna take the money.

Of course unions would be exempted. They're made up of people and therefore are people unlike corporations. Plus they support Obushma and should not be forced into the light with the other cockroaches.
