Legislation gets introduced because someone with lots of $$$ to donate
to candidates wants it introduced.

Or frequently just because a constituent asks him to, believe it or not.
In the past I was a member of a small group that found a rep friendly to

because of $$$, because we didn't have any to give ;-)
