Robin Williams spoke about it in his 2009 television comedy special, “Weapons of Self Destruction”.
He said, “And if the whole health care debate — if you want to know how your congressmen and senators are going to vote, we should actually, maybe they should be like NASCAR drivers. They should actually have to have jackets with the names of all the people who are sponsoring them. Wouldn’t that be cool? Then you might have a clue to why the f*ck they voted that way.”

Someone make a website for this.”Raymond Richards – “Makes sense to me.”James Campbell – “This could be the thing that united the country” Jim Waid – I am fully behind this being a requirement for ANY elected official in this country.

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in.” – Haruki Murakami
