2. The only hope in our country is to eliminate the ability of the corporations and the wealthy

industrialists such as the Koch brothers from being able to exert their influence on OUR so called Representatives. We must fight for Publicly funded elections and a separation between the media and their advertising departments.

This would take a whole lot of people who recognize the problem and willing to fight to make it happen. Seems to me that we get bogged down in the symptoms of the problem with campaign contributions and Lobbyists. We fight against what they are currently doing to us instead of fighting to remove their ability to do it!
