Public Citizen represents how many consumers or how many are in their consumer group?
Apparently, they have a political agenda similar to their AnointedIdiot, cause this was not about transparency; it (the disclosure of political contributions) was all, and has always been, about politics. =.=
I prefer the Canadian solution- we banned corporate and union donations and put a limit on individual contributions. It effectively ended the era of big-money politics here and enabled the Conservatives to win. The beauty of it is that no political party can survive without a large base of citizens motivated enough to put up their own money.
