Legislative influence for sale to the highest bidder...

Come one, come all… you too can own your own congressman. Here’s an idea on what it will cost you:

In 2012, 3.3 billion was spent lobbying congress and federal agencies. In the first 3 months of last year alone, the pharmaceutical industry spent $69.6 million on lobbying, electrical utilities spent $43.3 to try and stop the EPA from regulating the emissions of greenhouse gases, and Monsanto and others from the agricultural services industry spent $12.9 million.
