Every few years Congress trots out another “campaign finance reform” bill that dies in committee.
They love the theater because none of them actually wants, because none of them actually want reform.
Here’s why every single proposal since 1974 has been fake:
They all leave the real money pipeline wide open: the one that starts the day a member leaves office and starts “consulting” for the same donors who funded their campaigns.
Citizens United is a scapegoat.
The revolving door is the vault.
Close the vault with one sentence added to 2 U.S.C. § 207:
“No former Member of Congress may ever engage in lobbying activities or work for any entity required to register under the Lobbying Disclosure Act, for life.”
That’s it.
No more $2 million “board seats.
No more seven-figure K-Street jobs.
No more secret Super PAC coordination through ex-staffers.
When the personal payoff disappears, so do the billions in dark money. Donors don’t waste money on politicians who can’t deliver favors later.
I ran the numbers in chapter 5 of Rare Sense to Save America: countries that banned the revolving door saw outside political spending drop an average of 71% within six years.
We don’t need another 20-year court battle.
We need one rule that scares the elites to death.
Read the full wording, the enforcement mechanism, and exactly how We the People force it through — even when Congress says no:
The money train ends the day we decide it does.
