On the recordJuly 20, 1998
Usually, they take the PAC money from everywhere, but they cannot get it in terms of the District. I would just say, let us talk about 10 percent. I am willing to start low. I would just like to see some connection between the candidate and who he or she represents. If they are only going to represent the people in the east that give them $1,000 checks, I do not think they are going to represent a district in the west that provides the votes. I do not care if it is a quarter or a dollar, the checks I am moved by the most are when I receive $10 from a person who is living on $500 a month from Social Security. I know that $10 hurts that donor. So it just seems to me that candidates should receive money from their district at least to some degree.
