If they're not taking campaign funds, they're taking graft, which can be taken care of the old-fashioned way.
Right, because we're just kicking politicians out of office left and right for accepting bribes.
Bribes come in all different forms, and it's damn near impossible to trace it all to any particular source and destination. Dirty money is dirty and always will be.
Just saying, remove opportunities to take bribes. Lobbyists could still lobby. They just wouldn't be able to dangle campaign contributions as bait to get what they want.
They could be allowed to talk to the congress members but NOT be able to buy them a cup of coffee.
that would help alot.
that and free airtime for any politicain running who can get the required amount of signatures.
