Your quote...."Our government has become so corrupt at all levels even state legislators can't do what would be wildly popular" and then you end your thread w/ "Maybe instead of punishing the bad guys, we need to reward the good: donate to the state senators who voted for it"

You contradict yourself. You know our govt. is corrupt and yet you recommend people dump money into it. Isn't that insane? FOLKS....the govt. at ALL LEVELS IS CORRUPT....THE ONLY RATIONAL RESPONSE IS TO END THE SYSTEM THAT SUPPORTS CORRUPTION. Would good people JOIN the Mafia to reform it from the inside out??? No, they would abolish it. Why would you not do that to the govt. that is siding w/ mass murderers and destroyers of community? WAKE UP...join OCCUPY or create a serious mass movement that is not about REORM!
