He a Dem from Washington. I watched him on cspan today speaking about how stupid it is to have Republicans offer to reform corruption in the House!
The guy doesn't pull any punches! He said this whole mess began when the Pubs set up "the K Street Project" back in 95 when they first took over the majority! "What kind of result did YOU EXPECT?" He called the proposed changes they are now offering won't do a damn thing! The lobbyists all have our personal phone numbers, so keeping them off the House floor is a band-aid that won't change a damn thing! The legislation is written by the lobbyists because that's the way the Republicans want it! All the decisions are made in private, with the American People and the Democrats locked out and the Republicans and lobbyists locked in!
We need to start talking about public financing of campaigns! THAT will make the corruption stop!
Thanks you Rep. McDermott! I wish there were a lot more just like you!
edited for spelling and correct his first name. Sorry.
