Topic of the Day: Proposition 8
Posted 8 weeks 4 days ago byShould people outside a jurisdiction be allowed to make political contributions to sway a proposed ruling in that state?

Support for the ban seems to be waning, but that's not keeping millions of dollars from flowing into the state supporting both side of the issue.

Just like non-US citizens shouldn't be allowed to contribute to the national election. There should be a law against it.
I normally I default to getting rid of laws rather than making new ones but if a law limits government money or power I am for it.
