Political issues need to be understood in the context of our fundamental rights foremost. Its easy to get lost in sentiments of helping others thinking government is a pool of wealth,  It is not an endless pool or resources, it is the people purse. Charity begins at home, It is the answer for real, tangible and human help which is what we all need. The wealth fare of people is guaranteed by access to opportunity.  We cannot continue to live by victimization political action, it is a lie. All people need opportunity and accountability to develop into healthy productive citizens. Politics has deteriorated the individual worth for an opportunity to have a good and virtuous life.

Regulating “Dark Money” is Code for Censorship

By: Steve Klein Campaign finance law is based theoretically on the prevention of lighter forms of political corruption.
