I feel that a problem with gathering real support from the general public, to a point where people are willing to contribute their own money, is that while an overwhelming majority of people believe current campaign financing to be a problem with politics, it seems to be a kind of vague problem. Meaning, that yes I know it's a problem, but HOW is a problem exactly? Where can one go to connect the dots? Who is benefiting from the contributions, and who is taking them?
John Oliver had a good piece last week on dietary supplements and campaign contributions to Senators Tom Harkin and Orrin Hatch. These essentially amount to quid pro quo exchanges, but their visibility seems to be lacking.
What is the MAYDAY PAC doing or what can it do to make these contributions visible and name names in order to clearly illustrate the problem at hand?
