Letter: Campaign funds easy to track

Regarding the Sun's Nov. 2 editorial, "Faulty campaign finance laws":

Is it just Nevada, or is it a hallmark of the current version of the Republican Party nationwide to hide the truth about campaign contributions and who is buying the votes of our representatives? It would take an average Web database developer less than a week to set up a searchable, sortable database for a candidate and replicate it for every elected position.

The information could easily include the name and address of the contributor, the amount and the date and would be available on the Internet.

Possibly Nevada would provide the service for a nominal cost.

Of course, then we would all be able to see who is buying our representatives' votes, and that would not be acceptable to the current breed of politicians.
