Require Congressmen & Senators to wear logos of their financial backers ?
 
Don't know if I missed this or not but I think it is a great idea!



Require Congressmen & Senators to wear logos of their financial backers on their clothing, much like NASCAR drivers do.

The only problem that I can see is that some of the would need something like a Boy Scout sash for all the logos.

And presidents.

But, they would ALL need a billboard.

I drive a lot so I listen to him on Sirrius/XM. Until we break up the giant media outlets these right wing corporatist will be sure that no other points of view get heard on radio or TV other than the ones that benefit them. Some station in San Francisco took Stephanie Miller off of her prime time slot and put Shawn Insanity on. The time slot ratings dropped 90%.

Yes, we know all about todays fabulous "job creaters" with tens of thousands of unemployed people and dozens of ruined communities in their wake. Funny, how we used to have "job creaters" who actually created many thousands of jobs.....heck, entire industries. But, now we have people held up as "job creaters" who've done nothing but cornhole people and skin them alive for the cash.
