If I were running for office, I would openly state that I would take bribes. You could bribe me by donating to a local nonprofit on my website: anything over a million dollars to the local housing, food bank, or conservation efforts would get you my undivided attention for a full day, no interruptions. Less than that gets you a couple hours. Fixed income discount, five bucks gets you five minutes. Locals get a local discount and can meet up for free at the community food bank supper.
