Hi Kyle,
Really, the 1st ammendment does not in any way say that one person should be able to override another person's rights just because the first has money and the second does not. Personally, I do not believe for a moment that that is what the framers and maintainers of the constitution and its ammendments meant.
We each are given *one* vote. That should be the limit, no matter how much money we are able to contribute in order to *buy* others.
I'm with you in that large block of seats where the people without money wait while the ones with it get the polititions' ears.
