  1. i feel that a lot of problem with these corporations gving doniations to those running their campaigns is that it completetly makes the competition unfair. its almost like people are able to buy their succsess at these elections and campaigns because all this money causes other campaigners to be ignored because they dont have the funds to advertize their message as much as those who hold more of a economic stability . then the elcetion becomse more about money and less about the working class. - JAY

  2. I think it's pathetic that we find time to waste this much money on advertisements meanwhile our government is, and has been struggling to stay out of bankruptcy.
    Instead of playing "who has the most money?", we could use this money to keep the country afloat, healthy, and maybe even excel our stand on medical research.

  3. Big corps are donating money and trying to kick the people in chamber out so they can do the same thing that brought down our economy in the first place. Also big companies are posting on their websites which show their donations to trade associations so people would know that they have donated for the running chamber.

  4. Big corporations are donating money to chamber of commerce. Since they have all that money they do not care about the outcome.

  8. Huge companies are spending millions of dollars on people who they think will help them in the long run. By allowing the acceptance of these huge funds it makes the competition completely unfair. Allowing this to happen only the rich are becoming richer, while the poor are at a disadvantage all over
