What a wonderful country

Can you imagine how much better this country would be if we rid ourselves of lobbyist? Politicians would pay more attention to "We the People". There would be less corruption, less bribery, less money being filtered into the campaigns of those who play the game of "what's in it for me". Politicians would make decisions based on what's best for the country. We would have an energy policy, a solvent Social Security system, less expensive health care. You can add more to the list.

Special interest groups buy their way. We have the power to change this, but are fooled by the pork that our representatives bring home. A bridge, building, museum -- the cost is too high. The money corrupts an otherwise honest person into a corrupt politician. Lobbyists must go. They don't represent the people as some would have us believe. They represent organizations with very specific agendas.

I don't know how to exact our power. I'd like to hear from you. Tell me how.
