Always Never The Same: Campaign Contribution Limits
Posted on October 13th, 2009 by admin
Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison continued her campaign of contradictions by announcing her support for limits on campaign contributions. In 1996, she said she was against any kind of limitations, calling them “against everything that freedom in a democracy stands for.” Hutchison is also asking for $100,000 from big donors, at the same time she calls for limits. According to the Associated Press, donors giving $10,000 or more accounted for $3.3 million of Washington Kay’s campaign money. Senator Hutchison is truly running a campaign of contradictions.
