Shaun McCutcheon, is the lead plaintiff in a campaign finance challenge the U.S. Supreme Court will consider to remove restrictions in campaign finance limits.
Records show, Shaun made an excessive contribution to the Alabama Republican Party's federal political committee last year, first donating $1,000 to the Alabama Republican Party on Nov. 12, 2012, according to a Center for Public Integrity review of campaign finance records maintained by the Center for Responsive Politics. Shaun had already contributed the legal maximum of $10,000 to the party's federal account earlier in 2012. .
McCutcheon, a general contractor by trade, is now an outspoken critic of existing federal law that limits the overall dollar amount that any one person may collectively donate to federal candidates, parties and political action committees.
He now states that such limits are against our 'democracy'.

It appears he thinks democracy is about a few individuals having the 'freedom' to donate unlimited cash to politicians.

Wouldn't it be a level ball field, if no one donated and dictated how much propaganda influences the minds and tastes of would be voters?
Instead, all politicians are allocated a preset amount of even air time to present their political views and directions.
I find bought politicians often work the system to favor those that financially support their campaigns....
Instead of representing the people in their voting district.
