Lawmakers seek cash during key votes

"Numerous times this year, members of Congress have held fundraisers and collected big checks while they are taking critical steps to write new laws, despite warnings that such actions could create ethics problems. The campaign donations often came from contributors with major stakes riding on the lawmakers' actions."

Well, it looks like our government reform researchers are getting much closer to political money's smallest known particle.  It is very difficult for our elected representatives to wave off or deny actions that are so bare and to the point as this.  Nothing short of a bucket of paint thrown at a legislator is any closer to the ugly sight of corruption.
