Well. it happened to be to take care of a big contributor to the Democratic Party. If you contribute a lot of money to the Democratic Party. you get your bill introduced on 1 day and passed the same day. But if you want to take up immigration. if you want to take up equal access. if you want to take up acid rain. if you want to take up all of these kinds of things you cannot do that. "No. sir. boy. we cannot get those out on the floor to talk about because you do not have enough clout. you are not a big enough special interest. you have not signed into the Walter Mondale special interest campaign. Therefore. you cannot get your action on the House floor." That has to be one of the most disturbing aspects of what is taking place in the devastation of the legislative process.
