90% of our problems today stem from greed, graft and corruption from deep pocket special interests and the lobbyist’s that buy and own our congressional lawmakers.

Congress passes legislation on behalf of it’s biggest donors that limits competition in their industry’s. That corrupts our free enterprise system that the rest of our business people have to live by. We saw the results of that corruption and greed in 2008. Our congress also reversed laws on the behalf of lobbyist’s that regulated the stock market, and the financial institutions. These laws were put in place after the crash of 1929 and the great depression years of bread lines and suffering that followed. Those laws that congress reversed, were put in place to make sure it never happened again. Again we see the results of that corruption and greed bringing this country to it’s knees in 2008.

The safety and security of this nation would never have been sold to the highest bidder like that if a congressman was actually representing his constituents.

We need term limits for all of our elected officials.

Without sound money and repealing Citizen's United, this one's just window dressing.
You can buy off the newbies just as easily.
