“if this was not such a serious subject, this would be laughable. It is unfortunate we would not all be under oath. If we were under oath, we would be issued subpoenas for perjury for calling this campaign reform. I ran for office the first time and spent $70,000, and that was a lot of money. Now it is not uncommon to spend $1 million to get elected to Congress. I remember we had a debate around here, and we were talking about unions, we were talking about special interests and PACs and GOPAC. We do not, to this day, know who the contributors to GOPAC are. At least when we get a contribution from the labor union, we know it is from the teamsters, the steelworkers or carpenters, whoever. We know who it is from. This is absolutely a charade. If it were not for a good people that I am leaving in this place, I would say, hallelujah, I am glad I am out of here. This is an absolute travesty that is being perpetrated on the American people.”
