4. We start by demanding our Party start to support this!

We march now like they have never seen before to bring attention to what just happened and what needs to be done about it!

We have been kept so busy fighting the symptoms of this, the horrible policies such as killing the ACA and their draconian Health Care bills, immigration, education, climate change... that we have not addressed the ultimate driver of these policies, THE MONEY!!!

We rank our candidates by how much in political bribes (campaign donations) they have taken. We allow legalized bribery of our politicians, it is built into the system, it is the system!

I would like to see in either late Winter or early Spring a march of epic proportions with the sole issue being complete campaign finance reform with this tax bill and the attempted Republican Health Care bills as the examples of the danger. Their Health Care bills had like 12% approval from Americans and yet they still pushed it, why?

The MSM will not talk about it because they are the beneficiaries of all of that campaign cash. This needs to be addressed too!
