Letter: Want representation? The price is $73,300

And the answer is — $73,300! Does anyone out there without health insurance have $73,300 laying around to buy a vote with? It appears that is what it takes to get representation in Washington if you live District 2. My guess is that it is probably much higher. That is only the part Mr. Herger chose to report.

Yep, the people are right - we do need to take back our country. I say we Americans do away with the nice, clean-sounding little word "lobbying." Let's start calling it by its true name: bribery. That is what is. Plain and simple. Bribery.
