I dont think either. I get lots of email requests that show they are working hard. And not corrupted.

I’m not sure how lots of requests for money is proof of a lack of corruption.

Not all of them are. But that isnt what i said- it is proof they aint lazy. And a request for a campaign contribution is not corruption.
