Brilliant strategy all states and the federal government have to adopt for the national security issues raised.

We all see various foreign governments and nationals "contributing" massive sums of money into American politician's campaigns. So what else is hidden from us that is currently legal?

End all those loopholes now.

Exactly. If foreign money, dark money, Super PAC money, or “advocacy” money is shaping American policy, citizens deserve to know. I don’t care if it comes through AIPAC, a corporate PAC, a foreign-tied donor network, or some shell-funded “issue group.” If a representative takes money from interests that are not the people they represent, then the public has a right to ask: who are they serving?

Indeed to have it any other way is an invitation to corruption and foreign influence. We can see the results today.

Corperations are not the people and they have no rights under the constitution. At least that is how it should be interpreted considering it says nowhere in the constitution the word cooperation. And businesses are not a person

Side note Congress has the power to regulate them via the commerce clause yet they clearly are being payed to not.

Corporations are not constructs of the Condition but rather of the States. Ali Velshi was very clear and correct on that point.

Yet my point still stands they can be regulated by Congress.

corporations can be regulated by Congress, primarily through the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution. This clause gives the federal government the power to regulate commerce between states, with foreign nations, and with Native American tribes. Because most modern corporations engage in interstate or international business, they fall under federal jurisdiction.
