White House Petition: Make Lawmakers Wear Logos Of Financial Backers On Clothing

[eyecanshoot]

Since most politicians' campaigns are largely funded by wealthy companies and individuals, it would give voters a better sense of who the candidate they are voting for is actually representing if the company's logo, or individual's name, was prominently displayed upon the candidate's clothing at all public appearances and campaign events. Once elected, the candidate would be required to continue to wear those "sponsor's" [sic] names during all official duties and visits to constituents. The size of a logo or name would vary with the size of a donation. For example, a $1 million dollar contribution would warrant a patch of about 4" by 8" on the chest, while a free meal from a lobbyist would be represented by a quarter-sized button. Individual donations under $1000 are exempt.

good idea but they would look like nascar drivers .

how about every one of them has to be audited monthly and anyone found taking kickbacks or in bed with companies is removed? Make it so they can only receive their paycheck for being a government official.

I wonder how many of them will be wearing this logo?

how about every one of them has to be audited monthly and anyone found taking kickbacks or in bed with companies is fined ten times the amount they took, jailed for a period of not less than one year, and no longer eligible for a position as a civil servant? Make it so they can only receive their paycheck for being a government official.

There we go much better

Some would need to wear a wedding dress to have enough room to fit all the logos on.
