Then our environment gets just a little more toxic. All because we allow legalized bribery to elect our politicians. No investigations of Quid Pro Quo's.

The testing wells give me an idea. They drill them around refineries and chemical plants, sometimes just to check (subject to budgetary limitations of the agencies, usually in response to complaints. Why can't we have our our little Quid Pro Quo testing wells and periodically exam campaign donations vs. voting records? Look at timing of donation, amounts, previous public statements of the politician and his/her voting record on the issues?

Maybe that would help us to get the money out of our elections?
