I have always said that the BIG MONEY has to be removed from politics. PERIOD!!! When did OUR elections become about who has the most money wins? This is a recipe for disaster and we can see clearly how close we came to that disaster thanks to PACS, SUPERPACS, NGO's and all of the dark money that gets dumped into the political arena. What we need is a LAW that makes it illegal for politicians to spend past a certain limit for each type of position. The presidential election should have the highest amount, then the U.S. Senate races, U.S House races and so on. A cap on each type of race would make the playing field much more even and the amount of money dumped into this "who has the most money wins" crap would end. Add to that Term Limits and we have harnessed the politicians to doing the job that they got elected to do. Much has to be done about the benefits package they receive as well. The politicians should have to pay into Social Security like the rest of us and count on that for the end of their lives, not have some ridiculous benefit that after 2 terms we pay them their salary into perpetuity until they die. They should have to purchase their own health benefits just like the rest of us.

These politicians ABSOLUTELY must be reigned in because what they have become is NOT what was intended by our Founding Fathers. Politicians were supposed to be elected by their fellow neighbors to represent those neighbors for a few months a year in the Federal government, not to become entrenched as a "professional politician", whatever that hell that even means, and should truly FEAR the People that they represent if they don't represent those People's wishes. What goes on in Washington, D.C. is nowhere near what was intended and those that got involved are the ones that have changed it ALL for the worse. We need to get back to the original plan, remove the waste throughout the government and create a lean, clean government that handles the things the Federal Government was supposed to handle. Protecting We, The People from outside sources and forces with a strong and focused military and keeping peace between the States. All the rest of the crap they are up to needs to be flushed because most of those agencies are all corrupted now. Whether it is the FCC, FEC, EPA, CDC, FDA, NIH, DOJ, FBI, NSA, CIA, DOD and so many different agencies that are corrupt to the core. We are being poisoned by half of them and the crap they allow so they can get their pockets lined. GREED is a horrible factor within OUR government and from the top down and throughout all of the agencies and it ALL must be fixed and brought out into the light for ALL to see just what these people have been doing to The American People.

I could go on, but I think that everyone gets my point.

THE TIME IS NOW AND FOR THE NEXT 12 YEARS!!!
