Our Democracy is in Trouble
Unless you have been in Russia for a decade, you should know that American Democracy is in jeopardy. If you haven't noticed, American elections are bought and sold by PAC (Political Action Committees).
Elections being bought and sold is not a democracy. Much of the grid lock in Congress is because Congress, Democrats and Republicans, now work for their special interests. No one is working for us. Good news is that the special interests have not organized themselves yet to work with each other, but they will. Is this the America you want to live in?
Supreme Court
As an informed citizen, I am sure you know that the Supreme Court has ruled that corporations are the same as people (you got to be kidding me) and they have first amendment rights of free speech. Okay, we lost that battle people. Accept it, get on with a Plan B.
Vermont Leads the Way
Vermont First State to Call for a Constitutional Convention to Get Money Out of Politics
Vermont's House and Senate has passed a resolution to convene a constitutional convention to pass the 28th Amendment to get big money out of our government. This is perhaps the most important thing that has happened in my lifetime in this country. This is big, our democracy is at stake. Many of our other problems are not going to addressed until our politicians are working for us again instead of working to get re-elected and raise money for elections and more of the same. The Wolf Pac to end all PAC's.
10 States have resolutions in place for the 28th amendment!
What would a good citizen do in a good country?
