Supposedly, this will kill the whole purpose of this bill. That is a lot of baloney. If we are talking about campaign finance reform and we are going to leave the whole campaign arena to rich people, what good is that reform? In fact, without my amendment, the good work of the gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Shays) is going to do nothing but further give very wealthy Americans the leverage to take control of the political process in America. So what is all this reform about if we are not going to handle that problem?
