“There’s just way too much money in politics,” said a candidate
for governor earlier this month. Since the candidate was Terry
McAuliffe, a political fundraiser of Brobdingnagian proportions,
the remark could go down as the funniest line from this year’s
contest.
McAuliffe had just been asked if he would support campaign-finance reform, so he may simply have been pandering to his audience. Unfortunately, many others who have said much the same mean every word of it. That spells bad news for ordinary citizens like Edmund Corsi.
Corsi lives in Geauga County, Ohio, where he strives to be a burr under the saddle of public officials who disregard the Constitution, which to Corsi means most of them. So a few years ago he started a blog (why should he be different?) and got together with a couple of like-minded folks. The called themselves the Geauga Constitutional Council.
