Richard Uihlien (Uline Inc) gave $71,000,000 to Republicans.&nbsp;&nbsp;In fact, this election year (so far), the top ten contributors have already given Republicans $376,159,709.&nbsp;&nbsp;Democrats got $98,863,042 out of the rest of the ten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">So what is this \u201cpower\u201d, the \u201cfreedom of speech\u201d represented by money?&nbsp;&nbsp;Tim Mellon, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Miriam Adelson on the Republican side have a lot of \u201csay\u201d, because they donate so much money.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Look at Trump\u2019s strict adherence to Netanyahu\u2019s actions in Gaza, in part, because of the Adelson\u2019s support of both Trump and Israel (<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/general-news-9e6fb531f3ac4f52a16e0d12bad5f833\">AP<\/a>).&nbsp;&nbsp;In the same way, Mike Bloomberg, Tom Styer, George Soros, Dustin Moskovitz (Facebook) have \u201csway\u201d in the Democratic Party.&nbsp;&nbsp;How much \u201csway\u201d?<a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/la-influential\/story\/2024-06-16\/jeffrey-katzenberg-hollywood-fundraiser-democrats\">&nbsp;Jeffrey Katzenberg<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;was the public face of \u201cdonors\u201d warning Biden to drop out (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sWoKnzdI80c\">YouTube<\/a>).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No money, no campaign for President; Biden left the election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Joy and Cash<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Sure, it\u2019s nice that the Harris-Walz campaign is bringing \u201cjoy\u201d back to politics again.&nbsp;&nbsp;The crowds at the rallies are testament to the new energy on the Democratic side.&nbsp;&nbsp;But just as importantly, the Harris campaign raised over $350,000,000 in July (and at least another $80,000,000 this month so far).&nbsp;&nbsp;That doesn\u2019t include the close the $300,000,000 already in the Biden-Harris coffers transferred over to the new standard bearer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Campaign finance reforms were a result of the 1972 Nixon campaign.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sure there was the Watergate break-in, when some CIA-connected operatives broke into the Democratic Headquarters to bug the Chairman\u2019s phone, and got caught.&nbsp;&nbsp;But the real shock of the Watergate scandal with the hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash floating around the CREEP (Nixon\u2019s Committee to Re-Elect the President) office, so much money that it didn\u2019t seem like a big deal to pay some old CIA guys to break-in.&nbsp;&nbsp;By 1976, there were clear election donation limitations, and $200 million for each of the Carter and Ford campaigns.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reform Fails<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The reformers (Republican and Democrat under the McCain-Feingold Act of 2002) were moving money out of the campaign equation.&nbsp;&nbsp;But the internet, and the Supreme Court, put money right back in the center of American politics, where we are now.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It\u2019s not just about television advertising, though that\u2019s anticipated to be $7.06 Billion (all campaign advertising, not just Presidential) in 2024.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Digital advertising may reach $3.46 Billion, including \u201csocial network\u201d spending (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.emarketer.com\/press-releases\/2024-political-ad-spending-will-jump-nearly-30-vs-2020\/\">EMarketer<\/a>).&nbsp;&nbsp;And all of that doesn\u2019t include more traditional expenditures:&nbsp;&nbsp;staffing, travel, rallies, mailings, signs, stickers, and other so-called \u201cstreet money\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;Campaigns look for every way to contact potential voters (right now I get sixty or more fund raising emails a day, and dozens of texts, all asking for money).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">My old 1976 Carter\/Mondale boss made it clear:\u00a0\u00a0not one sign, or pamphlet, or bumper sticker could be left in the office by election day.\u00a0\u00a0It all had to go out, to try to make a difference and change a vote.\u00a0\u00a0Even with as much money as they have now, that campaign \u201crule\u201d still exists.\u00a0\u00a0Like the old Nixon CREEP days, with money was falling out of closets, campaigns have more cash than they can spend.
