This is a mystery to me. When the sums of money that change decisions in Washington show up they tend to be small. Rarely even a million. Why can’t be those sums crowdsourced? I have a couple of guesses. 1. This is so low because there is low competition, the amounts will quickly go into billions if challenged. 2. They actually support those causes and will refuse money that comes from the people, not the corporations. 3. Anyone who would try that will be discredited, sued or even eliminated. Money is just a small part of it.
