An open letter to Rep. Alan Grayson and any representatives of the people
of the United States of America who may happen to view this. And thank you to any of your aids to bring it to your attention and do the good work.
Please create and pass legislation creating checks and balances within US politics to immediately remove from office any who are working directly for corporations and billionaires, or who have direct ties to such, or who have taken lobby money from such or who have lobbied or worked for such. And/or other means and measures to eliminate from politics those who are actively voting on behalf of corporate and financial interests.
This means "tea party" politicians. Note that the Koch brothers co-created the "tea party" with big tobacco, to push Koch-friendly legislation.

Rick Snyder, Rick Scott, Scott Walker. All must go before they destroy their respective states with Koch-derived vulture capitalism legislation.
This also means standing corporate personas such as Michael Taylor, a Monsanto executive who is now the Deputy Commissioner for Foods at the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This means Penny Pritzker, a billionaire with a history of abusing worker's rights, now appointed by Obama to the position of Commerce Secretary.
This means Clarence Thomas, once a Monsanto attorney who is now on the Supreme Court, refusing to recuse himself from Monsanto cases.
The conflicts of interest, the stunning amount of corporate and plutonomist theft of our political system which is supposed to represent the people of the country, is beyond belief. It must be stopped immediately and immediately removed. The possibility of their increasing their numbers in the next election, through means such as the Koch brothers derived "citizens united" PAC ruling by the Supreme Court, is abomination.
Return the country to its people. And please do something about the corporate income inequality as well:
Make it illegal for corporations to write legislation, or for any level of government to accept corporate-derived legislation (ALEC, TPP, etc.)
I don't ask much. Even a single victory derived from this list would be a massive improvement. Thank you for your service. Sorry for asking you and those who serve the country to be some sort of Santa Claus, but Change must come. The trend is too frightening, too visible, to bear. You know that if the people of this country have to march again en mass, the rich will call the riot police to be even worse, that we may get the message to stay home and shut up. Can we avoid this scenario through political action and channels or is it inevitable? Thank you very much.
