Politicians Should Be Held to the Same Standard As NASCAR Drivers
An idea whose time has come: Legislators should have to wear NASCAR-style logos of bill sponsors.
Lawmakers in Sacramento say they represent the people. But voters have little to do with who really runs our state. Corporations and lobbyists pay to get lawmakers elected, then write the laws that govern us.
So it’s time to stop pretending. Lawmakers should be required to wear logos, NASCAR-style, of the companies that sponsor their campaigns and write our laws.
For example, Rep. Joe Barton wearing a cap with a prominent BP logo. Now that would be a game-changer.
