Too bad Jolly is getting so little support.   Even worse,  I would guess  a majority of the  voting public is unaware of the time their representatives  spend fund raising.   

Very few people would argue that large private institutions have influence on legislation.   At best, money donations provide very unequal access to those who guide legislation through congress.  At worst, it's a legal bribe.

We've put our legislators and  in a position of begging, not leading,    Sadly, it is the professional leadership of The Party that makes sure it's members play nice and cooperate - or they don't get their share of the booty.    

My hat is off for the brave few, like Jolly and Nolan, who are trying to shed the light on a corrupt process.
