7. Is this the cause of it all?

So much is written about our politicians indebtedness and desire to please big money donors and ho0w much super pacs spent in this election but why do we want to apply the solutions to prevent the undesired outcome, would it not be alot more productive to examine the processes by which the Federal government is corrupted and do something about that where it occurs most early in the process rather than trying to deal with the horses after they have left the barn. In other words why are we always responding to crises created by those who are supposed to be representing us and spending billions of dollars and millions of volunteer hours defnding the coutry from those who are supposed to represent the people. I believe the first step in protecting our people and American values lies in forcing so called representatives to do as we wish , not just as big donors desire. We must do this by installing fair redistricting within any and all states. Until then we are screwed. Lets quit dealing with symptoms of the disease and fight back now.
