Meet Dan and Farris Wilks. They're billionaires. Made their money fracking, of course.
Farris is also a minister of Assembly of Yahweh Seventh Day Church in Texas, of course.
They preach that homosexuals prey on children, and that our rights come from God, not the government, so duh the government should legislate morality according to the teachings of one religion. Farris wants it to be his religion. Source.
Farris and Dan gave a combined 15 million dollars to Ted Cruz superPAC.
What could they possibly want in return? A theocracy, perhaps?
This is terrifying. No one individual should be able to exert this much financial influence on a candidate. Especially people who have such awful worldviews. Every American, rich or poor, should be able to exert the same influence on candidates. One person, one vote. Not one person, one vote plus $15 million to win.
