over and have control over our politicians, write laws to benefit themselves at our expense, control the media, and have us fighting each other over the same shit! It, for the time being, is not about gays, guns, God, abortion etc., it is about our whole system of Government. It is no longer by the People, for the People, but only for the 1% and the big corporations! We need COMPLETE CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM so we can get elected officials who will truly represent us again! Right now they spend all their time raising money that mainly comes for the very rich. If they do something to anger the rich, their next election they are GONE! It does not matter who we send to D.C., they will either be co-opted, or gone! Wake up America!
