Funds given to a politician from a corporation, whether in a campaign or as lobbying, is referred to as dark money by liberal politicians. Citizens United V. FEC was a supreme court case which ruled that money is speech and thus corporations can give endless sums of money to politicians under their constitutional protection of free speech. Liberal politicians often call these funds dark money because the funds are used to promote corporate interest, not the interest of the people.…

A prime example of misfeasance would be when President Clinton enacted the 1994 Crime Bill on mass incarceration. The former president stated he was not aware that race and socioeconomics would be at the forefront or even that the bill would have so many ramifications and stated that he was wrong and made a mistake by signing the bill. The bill basically incarcerated a large percentage of African Americans and Latinos, especially on drug offenses (the sentence for powdered crack cocaine (Caucasian drug of choice) was less than the sentence for crack (African American and Latino drug of choice).…

    I’m just like many other people really don’t like the advertising adds that are everywhere now they are on the trains, on the street, in the mail and they are been played on the TV and internet all the time.

I chose to write about corruption in Congress, because the 535 members of the House and the Senate have the power to place limitations on levying taxes, and solving problems that cause America to be so divided. The legislative branch is able to control almost every aspect of American life in some way. A Princeton University study comparing 1,779 outcomes to what the public actually wanted found that groups representing business interests have substantial influence on the outcome of certain bill. Since the House and Senate are highly influenced by special interest groups and economic elites, Congress can become a market for corruption with many groups out to buy votes.…

In the 1980 's, Congress would only have the vaguest of notions how computer technology would evolve as a medium for communications and social-networking. Lawmakers, at the time, recognized the federal interest of the U.S. government was to protect computers under control of a federal entity, part of a financial institution or somehow involved in interstate or foreign commerce. The CFAA was therefore a crucial piece of legislation that protected U.S. interest in terms of national security and financial information.…
