Legalized Bribery

The Corporation plays our politicians like a violin because we, the "stewards of democracy," have abdicated our responsibilities as citizens. Many vote without any understanding of the issues. Half don't bother voting at all. Is it any wonder our legislators publicly and openly represent the Corporation?

The individual contributes seven times more to federal revenues than the Corporation, and yet has little influence over our legislators. We can begin by calling lobbying what it is called in any other country -- bribery.

Put a stop to lobbying. Special interest groups that seek to influence our laws may do so by petitioning us, the voters.

Reform campaign financing. Bulldoze “K Street.” Wean our legislators from the Corporate teat.

If we don't do it ourselves, nobody else is going to do it for us.
