Money and Politics - James Robert Deal. Election and Campaign Finance Reform. It takes money to run a campaign, so a politician must first be good at raising money. Those who donate the most want something in exchange. So the politician represents the donors rather than the electors. There is a way literally to take the big money out of politics - by making it more affordable to run a campaign and by putting an absolute limit on money to be spent. http://JamesRobertDeal.org/election-reform
