To the Editor:

   In a thousand uncoordinated voices, sundry "Occupy" movements across America have been announcing that  civil servants who must be forever courting big donors can't simultaneously be serving the people.  Restoring real clean representative government is more than any one man can do, but president Obama has the highest pulpit; it falls to him to set the tone.  Selling access to policy-makers for political contributions creates at least the appearance of impropriety.
