| Message | Any money taken in politics is a bribe. There are no ifs or buts about it. Money should not be in politics. When a contributor is paying a politician, they are buying them. Politicians should work for all of their constituents equally. They shouldn't have to pander to the rich and to unions to get their terms in office - they should be getting support for their ideas from the ordinary people. Bernard Kilburg ADA Co-Leader |
