Let's stop big money and interests from owning our legislators. Our Elected Officials are PUBLIC SERVANTS, and should behave as such. They should not vote against the common good of all the people in favor of giving special consideration (including tax breaks, reductions in fines, etc). If a Legislator receives significant donations (in excess of $50,000 from ANY person, Corporation, PAC, or Special Interest group, they SHALL NOT be eligible to vote on any legislation that pertains to the said person, Corporation, PAC, or Special Interest group. Legislators who are found to have done so should be stripped of their Elected office and any benefits of that office. Criminal Conviction should be considered if it is found that the Legislator voted against the wishes of his constituents.
