It's true that money will always be involved with anything humans do. But, democratic representation shouldn't be influenced by who donated to your campaign.

It influences what I wear, what I eat, where I go...why shouldn't it play a role in government? In fact it does play a role -> tax and spend seems to be the major role of government. It is nuts to believe there is a way to have money not be involved. Money influences how I spend my day (working not playing).

That's just icing on the cake. To get a feel for how much of a douche he is, check out the video of his latest floor statement on his homepage: http://calvert.house.gov/ I also forgot to mention above that I live in the 44th District of California. I'm serious about taking down Calvert. I think we could do it. Any middle-aged aspiring politicians out there? Seriously, holler at me. I'll help you out. I knew Calvert was a douche but the level of douchery wasn't as clear to me until I looked into him a little bit more today. Excerpt from Calvert's 'Personal' section on Wikipedia (backed up with sources): "In 1993 Calvert was arrested for soliciting a prostitute.[10][11] The Riverside Press-Enterprise went to court to force the Corona police to release the police report. In that report, the arresting officer wrote: "I observed a male subject in the driver seat... As I made my way to the driver door, a female immediately sat up straight in the front passenger seat. It appeared as if her head was originally laying in the driver's lap... Both subjects were extremely nervous. I noticed that the male subject was placing his penis into his unzipped dress slacks, and was trying to hide it with his untucked dress shirt... The male subject started his vehicle and placed it into drive and proceeded to leave. I ordered him three times to turn off the vehicle, and he finally stopped and complied... The male identified himself as Kenneth Stanton Calvert... and stated 'We're just talking that's all, nothing else.' ...I spoke with Linberg separately. I asked her if she had ever been arrested for anything, and she said, 'Yes, for prostitution and under the influence of heroin.' Linberg said she had last 'shot up' approximately one week prior and is currently on methadone." Also in 1993, Calvert and his former wife, Robin, were divorced after 15 years of marriage. His ex-wife later accused him of not paying the alimony arranged. In addition, his father committed suicide. After these experiences, Calvert said that the experiences "have helped me mature greatly... and become a better person."[12]" Well Chris,

We need someone down here to run a similar campaign against our <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Calvert" rel="nofollow">Douche Ken Calvert</a>. He keeps getting fatter and douchier from lobbyist money he uses to hire prostitutes. I want to walk down the street to his house and yell at him. I'm pretty sure anyone could beat Calvert if they ran against him. Anyone out there reading this interested? I will help you. Signs, ron-paul like graffiti, internet presence... lemme know.
