Today representative Randy Cunningham (Republican from California) pleaded guilty to accepting over $2 million in bribes to steer defense contracts to specific places. "I can't undo what I have done but I can atone," he said. I'm not so sure. In reading this article I was astounded by the sentence, "He could face up to ten years in prison." My immediate reaction to that was, THAT'S IT???
Serving in congress of the United States is a scared trust. I'm not so naive to think that corruption doesn't exist at all levels of government, but when something as blatant as this comes up, we shouldn't hesitate to lock him up and throw away the key. Taken at face value, this guy deserves hard time.
