94% of elections are won by the candidate that spends the most.
Congress’s approval rating is at 10%, yet they are raising more money than ever before. It is obvious they are not working in the best interest of the American people. If they cannot compromise during a recession they could weaken our country, as they have with our credit rating. It is time to take control back by telling your rep what you want and forcing him to listen. We need to do our homework and research the issues ourselves. Maybe not everyone will want to vote, but any percent of the population making decisions is better than leaving a few hundred politicians in charge.
