1. I don't know if I can afford that...but it sounds like a good idea.
How about paying a few not to run for re-election?

2. What if all us regular folks contributed $5?
That would be millions of dollars, and we could buy us one. And have him dance like a monkey on CSPAN.

7. All of 'em, I would imagine.
Let's buy one from a state with a lot of pull. Like New York or Florida or Ohio.

8. Ohio has two rethugs. DeWine perhaps?
How much do you think it would cost to also have him put on a grass skirt and do a Hula on the Senate floor? (I'd pay $10. to see that.)

3. Great idea!
Really. It could create some buzz on the net, and you could update totals, and names of congressmen or women we'd try to buy. Of course the best part would be that you would be reminding people that congress can be bought.
