And outsiders run amok in almost every campaign

The other day I wrote about Credo Mobile, "the only phone company with a progressive agenda", "A progressive SuperPac?"  I questioned whether they would request donations or use profits to make contributions.  It matters not, they are trying to influence elections where they have no vote, just like those other bad guys.

They have added Michele Bachmann to their target list, "Dem super-PAC adds Bachmann to target list" Cameron Joseph, The Hill, 2012-08-23.  I don't care for Michele Bachmann for a laundry list of reasons.  But whether she stays in office or not is for the voters in her district to decide, not people who have no right to vote for or against her.  Think of my objection as an extension of the prohibition against foreigners contributing to U.S. campaigns.  See "Illegal political contributions from multi-national corporations?"
