12. Yes, we need campaign finance reform...

But we will never get it until we can put the Republicans into the minority in each House.

This election should not be about the Republican Party vs the Democratic Party as much as it should be about the Republican voter vs the Democratic voter. People tend to hide behind their Party label...
