Thanks for pointing that out, David.
The parties might distinguish themselves from each other when they vote for or against effective campaign finance reform.
Right now, when a candidate either has to HAVE millions or COLLECT millions to compete in an election, they do HAVE TO take that money and the obligations that go with it, just to get elected. It's our responsibility to correct that systematic flaw, so that we can have more representatives with fewer obligations to please rich donors.
I'll try harder to keep politics out of garden threads, but I suspect that some politics will always find its way into discussions of either GMOs or Monsanto.
In my opinion, Monsanto would not have as many laws that favor them to exploit, if they couldn't buy representatives.
