1. Agreed. Also, any speaker on the Tee Vee should have all affiliations listed.
Be nice to know who is in bed with whom, so to speak.

2. I think candidates for office need to wear Nascar type clothing with all their corporate sponsors on
their clothing.

4. Hey, give the Congresscritters patches, like IBM and Texaco...
...just like the drivers have STP and such on their uniforms.

9. Talk to marketing...
When the pols find out how much the drivers get paid for a uniform patch, they'll insist on 'em! And marketing will have to tell 'em about what they expect back from the racers in terms of exposure, appearances, and TV time.

17. Try Bernie Sanders

He'd look good in a green blazer with this back embroidery



Transparency is our best defense, for the moment - and the clever pols (like Bernie) will figure a way to turn this their way. Rep. Grayson's bills are a good start.
