Politics and money

Hi

I hear that the quarterly financial accounting that Senator Dodd files contains some very interesting items. In this quarterly report candidates must detail the monies given to them for running the political campaign. Senator Dodd reported about $4 thousand dollars from Connecticut residents, but, he reported over $600,000 from out of state donors. My question to the people of Connecticut is,"Who do you think Senator Dodd would represent if he gets reelected?" Interesting thought. Mind you this is the guy who chairs the committee that oversees the bailout money. What a way to run a country. I would like to suggest a solution for this dilemma, limit contributions to only people or entities who are based or live in the district. The senator would have to go to his constituents for money to conduct a campaign. What a blow that would be to special interests. I would not limit it to the senate but to the house as well. Couple this with a fair or flat tax and you have real meaningful campaign finance control. Come on politicians do some thing right for a change.

Please pray for our service people.
GOD Bless
