Quote:You're arguing about a whole other issue. When the sitting Secretary of State has influence on a deal concerning national security is getting paid through a slush fund, that's a serious issue. It has nothing to do with campaign finance reform.

I disagree. In my mind it's all interrelated.


Also, from news reports, 89% of donations to the Clinton foundation actually goes to the work of the charity. It's hardly a slush fund.


The problem is that money is overtly influencing the decisions of elected officials. Money is becoming a quantifier of speech; to the point that it is corrupting our system in favor of those with the most money.


Buckley v valeo and citizens United are the rulings that allow this to happen....
