[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 505101, member: 927"] I really like the OpenSecrets site. I've viewed it for years. I also believe that it is NOT bribery to use the PAC system to make a legal contribution to a politician. I think PACs have become a necessary evil in order for an entity to get their message across. I used to think that Politicians have a prostitute mindset (like you said). I don't really think that any more. (Even though I still dislike so much about the system) When I visited our public affairs group, I had a chance to talk with a member of congress for a while. I asked him about political influence and the perception that you discussed. He told me this and OpenSecrets backs up what he said... He said that there is a limit to how much an organization can legally give a politician. I think its $10,000. He said that besides one's own moral code, $10,000 could not buy a vote. He said that he appreciates the contribution and respects UPS, but he would make up his own mind. I view the $10,000 as money that is spent to tell your story. P-Man [/QUOTE]
