IDEA: Get a network to show corporate names along with congressional members speaking in Congress.
I know the idea has been bandied about of having members of Congress wear corporate logos like NASCAR, but really...why doesn't a network show the names of corporations that have contributed to individual campaigns?

So when a Senator of Representative gets up in the Senate or House to make a speech, the corporate names (or logos) appear instantly on the TV screen, perhaps scrolling. Like this


INDIVIDUAL CORPORATION: Starkey Laboratories $13,600 --2 Hubbard Broadcasting $10,600 --3 Longhorn PAC $10,000 --4 Dart Transit $9,600 --4 Johnstone Supply $9,600 --6 Crown Iron Works $9,200 --7 PricewaterhouseCoopers $7,500 --8 Marquette Financial Cos $7,200 --9 Slumberland $6,900 --10 Halp --11 Zurich Financial Services $5,800 --12 Brehm Group $5,600 --13 ACA International $5,000 --13 American Bankers Assn $5,000 --13 American Crystal Sugar $5,000 --13 Associated Builders & Contractors $5,000 --13 AT&T Inc $5,000 --13 Computer Packages $5,000 --13 Eagle Forum $5,000 --13 Every Republican is Crucial PAC $5,000 --13 Rothschild Capital Management $5,000
INDUSTRY: Retired $71,480 --Insurance $52,850 --Misc Finance $30,350 --Leadership PACs $22,223 --Pharmaceuticals/Health Products $21,850
