First and foremost, this does not permit unlimited contributions, the gentleman is absolutely wrong, and I hope people are paying attention to the debate. The unlimited contributions that we are setting is the limit which a wealthy person puts into his or her own campaign. That is stated very clearly. There is a limit. Why should we permit wealthy Americans to buy these seats because we have not given a fair chance for nonwealthy Americans to have a shot at the election process? This is not fair, and that is what we are trying to do. I thought that is what this bill was all about. I guess it is not.
