I figure if our Senators and House members start seeing pictures of hundreds of checks for donations given to MTG's re-election campaign, but getting few themselves while MTG's election coffers explode with money, well, we might make a point to a few congresscritters.

They are being paid off in much larger amounts of money than we can provide and we shouldn't HAVE to pay money to those who are supposed to represent America and its citizens. Unless you have blackmail evidence on their evil deeds and massive greenbacks, they don't give a fuck about our wants & needs.

Do you have any concept of how much money politicians get from small donors?

Wait, based on your comment, the answer is clearly no.

And you believe they ONLY have small donors?

No, but some politicians are better at getting lots of small donations than getting a few big ones. Sanders and Trump were both quite good at attracting small donors in very large numbers.
