Beautiful idea. Logos, and monetary amounts I love it! Cancun Crud has many despicable things to answer for.

AOC wouldn't have a single patch on her clothes. Most of the other members of Congress would be so covered in patches that they would have to shrink them down to button size it fit them all.

Several members of Congress have begun wearing AR-15 pins on their ties or lapels, even the day after the Nashville shooting (Representative Clyde).

Open Secrets should be....well, open secrets.

"Branding" takes on a whole new meaning...

Great idea! Also, they should have their paper correspondence carry sponsor logos, and digital correspondence have a footnote listing their sponsors. Even their cars should show a sponsor notice - like a ‘Doctor on call’ sign - when being used on official business.

We need this for all. Quick identify who the companies pulling the strings are

Great idea! Or a tattoo on their forehead works too

[quiqweig]

Great common sense argumentation, dude.

Please run for office. You got a good head.

[tonyscott]

I would love to see sponsors IDs on the closer that would be great. That would definitely cut out a lot of the BS.

[chrismorton]

I appreciate this young man's thoughts

[xmarine]

No sponsorships. No lobbying. No more than two terms.

[pacfan]

I like what you are sayin bro, keep it real and alive!

2010 supreme Court ruling permuted unlimited corporate donations to politicians

[ablemayble]

I've been saying this since 2002. Badges of "honor."

[CrabbyO]

I love it!😂
The size of the logo should be proportional to the amount of donation money they receive from that entity.
Full Transparency!!!👍🥰
