for fundraising purposes....

Yes, slap the bill to the RNC, FreedomWorks, Koch Brothers, Adelson, and any other right-wing organizations that wanted to make it an oligarchy and then sic the collection sharks after them 24/7. Get the RNC to shake down their usual billionaires to foot the bill.

Then officially kick the Tea Party assholes out of their party. Agree to turn the gavel over to the Democratic House. Rethuglican Party is down to 75 after the purge.
