SCOTUS tells us that money is speech; therefore restrictions on donations is an unacceptable restriction on free speech. If you think that's true, try getting your congressman to listen to $63 million of speech and see how quickly he loses interest.
Unfortunately, this article is missing one important information point. How much these individuals raised in total. It would be interesting to find out what the percentage breakdown in individual versus industry donations and also how much comes directly from residents within the district.
Maybe the people in their districts gave committee members $200 million and so the relative pittance from industry is inconsequential.
