Such donating is not limited to public unions - right? And we still have PACs and Super PACs. Aren't those contributions 'somewhat' responsible for the recent turn of events when it comes to undoing the limits on corporate and individual campaign contributions?

Do we all not contribute in our own way and to the best of our ability, be it cash, stuffing envelopes, manning the phone bank, hosting a candidate meet and greet, etc. in order to promote our favorite candidate - who in one way or another will be redistributing/controlling/limiting whatever resources are within their purview?
