  1. Donate the maximum amount legally allowed (as an individual).
  2. Tell the Member that you would like to become a bundler.

(A bundler is a person or small group of people who pool or aggregate contributions “from the community” and then deliver them in one lump sum to a political campaign).

  1. Once you have raised a sizeable amount, deliver the money to the Senator so they can use it wisely. In turn, trade stock options based on insider information to the tune of millions, be super glad that you helped the democratic process!

    This isn’t really the problem though. Special interest groups brought us things like the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Clean Water Act. There’s nothing inherently wrong with special interest lobbying.

    The problem is Citizens United, which allowed people to HIDE unlimited amounts of money behind PAC organizations. Including foreign money, which is explicitly illegal in federal campaigns. We need to overturn Citizens United before it ends this country.
