What I've heard

[Jeanmarie Heriba <jheriba@chiesman.org>]

I was talking about money & politics yesterday with someone who thinks things won't change in America until there is campaign finance reform.  I served as a forum recorder a few weeks ago on this issue and heard participants say they agreed with the concept of lobbying because it lets them lobby as individuals.  
A former state legislator told a group of us having lunch together than good people run for office with good intentions and sometimes end up with their lives almost ruined.  I think money plays too big of a part in politics.  But it does in personal relationships too doesn't it?  Can we ever regulate that?
