Ron Paul - Top donors: GIs, meet geeks. The small-government libertarian's biggest givers are members of the military, followed by Google and Microsoft 
Unfortunately in order to get elected it takes a lot of money - just to get your viewpoints on issues out to the voters. Too bad the media is not really unbiased and there are actual debates amongst ALL the candidates so voters could make an educated vote. Alas lobbyists pay for many politicians and the federal and state and local levels and in that get favors. There should be free media and TV shows so ALL candidates can give their views - People can watch if they want - instead if getting hammered with commercials every 15 minutes on the tube for a proposition or candidate who has forked over a lot of money do sell their name or product - let it be more a community issue and free air time. The major player$ with money would like that. You want change - you want real change that this would be a step in the right direction. For the life of me I am not too sure who would want a job in politics if they are honest.
it would be nice if public radio and TV, the 'free' media, would do what you said. They are to busy fixing this old house I suppose.
I are shocked!
