LOL, yeah Greger. I got you. There ought to be a way to fix this. But since the SCOTUS ruled money is speech, there isn’t. Here’s the most expensive senate races. You can click on the state to see the break down.
Using my home state, Georgia, Warnock has raised 60 million to Walkers 20 million. Then you have to add spending by outside groups not affiliate with either party or candidate, ha, ha, yeah. That’s another 46 million benefitting Warnock and 42 million benefitting Walker. That’s 170 million for one senate seat. But compared to the senate runoff elections in January 2021, 170 million is peanuts.
I’ve been supporting a law that would basically say if you can’t vote for a candidate, you can’t donate to that candidate or his campaign. Talk about hitting a brick wall. This has been a hot issue for me ever since the Georgia runoff elections in 2021 when 90% of all money spent on those two runoffs came from out of state. The moneyed folks from out of state own Georgia’s two senators as far as I’m concerned.
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
