If congressmen are restricted to $5,000 donations from PACs how can lobbyists donate hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars to them? For example in the movie Sicko I saw in the preview that it shows the amounts of money given to a particular congress person by lobbyists and it was numbers such as $400,000, $130,000 ... How is this possible? How is this public knowledge and the congressmen don't get in trouble for accepting over the legal limit of political donations?
