from the white house is we the people petition website comes this
uh...
this or some petition
hoping to force congressional lawmakers took prominently display their financial
backers spend monetary support
from various lobbies so get this
since most politicians campaigns i'm reading directly from what the petitions
s are largely funded by wealthy companies and individuals
it would give voters are better sense of who the candidates
uh... who the candidate are representing
uh... if they have the company's logo or individuals name
prominently displayed upon the candidates clothing at all public
appearances and campaign events
yes you're hearing the right they are
of fish only proposing
the mask or idea you know i'm ask are there all tied up with a different
logo's of the different corporations and people that support them and that's
there
they really know they show you what they've sold out to right
now obviously and ask our there's no negative consequences biggest nascar
drivers aren't supposed to represent the will of the american people
but are represented are our politicians are
and i think is the most or something i've ever read my life a lot of people
joke around about this too by the way i got made a joke about this like six or
seven months ago i'm so happy that somebody
uh... decided to make this a petition
uh...
the continues one selected the candidate would be required to continue to wear
those sponsors names
jury all official duties and visits to constituents
the size of a logo or name that would vary with the size of a donation for
example over one million dollar contribution would warm up at warrant a
patch
of about four inches by eight inches on the chest while a free meal from a
lobbyist will be represented by a quarter size button
individual donations under one thousand dollars are exempt
now look of course this is uh... somewhat tongue-in-cheek here
but at the same time uh...
acting it's a great idea
now it'll never happen because you know if that's essentially
asking politicians
to make a mockery of themselves envelope in favor of making a mockery of
themselves right
a new look eight
i'd i can give you a billion examples i've done it before all do it again i'll
just go back to the one i always use
you know george w_ bush former oil man gets into office all would you look at
that four billion dollar subsidy for exxon mobil
adjust the welfare checks right from the american taxpayer toward the richest
corporations in the world
gee i wonder why that happened now he was wearing a big ol patch the tsa exxon
mobil on his chest
right there on his left as cheap
uh... then guess what
splicing on and off anybody looking at george w_ bush is asp
so yeh perotis chest
uh...
maybe
we will offer better people smarter people
i don't know but i love the idea i'm happy somebody's thinking about it and
kudos to them for putting it on the website
