Congress should be made to wear...

...stickers of those that sponsor them...and the amounts.


Can I get a second on this idea?

1. Seconded as long as they show their money belts.

4. Blue-America is running TV ads against Sen. Blanche Lincoln in Arkansas using that theme.

It shows Lincoln in a NASCAR suit with patches from all the insurance companies she's taken $millions from. The voice over says, "Sponsorship should be for race cars. Tell Sen. Lincoln to get back on track." (Or something close to that)

Here's a link to the video: http://crooksandliars.com/node/32657

5. They'd all look like NASCAR vehicles.
Just make sure the size of the logos corresponds to the total amounts spent.

6. One thing you can say about NASCAR: at least they're honest about
who is sponsoring them.

Congress, on the other hand.........

7. Good ides
But these creeps will never let it happen for very obvious reasons. They'll all end up in jail or kicked out.

8. I second that emotion.
When Jello Biafra ran for mayor of San Francisco way back around 1980 (When Di Fi was first elected to the post -- had risen to the job when Moscone was killed), part of his platform was that he would require downtown businessmen to wear clown suits. This proposal is even better.
