A Super Idea

Pro Publica is asking its readers to find out if their congressional reps are going to the Super Bowl in Miami and -- here's the rub or nub -- HOW they are getting their tickets. Excerp on why:
While most of us can’t afford a ticket to the Super Bowl, we know the NFL sets aside a large number of them for public officials and corporations to buy at face value (the cheapest tickets are going for as much as $1,799 on StubHub). Politicians use the tickets to reward big donors, and corporations use them to reward politicians.
