My opinion is donations do have an impact on what they do or don't do I have experienced this first hand from my representative here on the Kenai. But then again that is the way our political system works the good old boys club not just here but everywhere. Politicians have always looked out for their own self interests of those who back/finance them. This is why the system is corrupt. Government is a business and we the people are not shareholders. Bribery is that not how you get political influence on your side?
