I Want My Country Back (who's country?)

A lot of people are spending a lot of money and a lot of time trying to ‘get our country back.’ If all these folks would simply focus on one thing they could probably do just that. And that one thing is campaign finance reform.

Our political leaders, those people elected to represent us, spend the majority of their time raising campaign funds to finance their re-election. Unfortunately, most of this money comes from large donors --big business, wall street, big banks, big drug companies, millionaires and billionaires, who expect a return on their investment.

If the people who elect these politicians expect fair representation, then it must be they who finance these campaigns, not deep pocket special interests.

Everything else is a waste of time.
