end to as soon as we replace those funded by that money with Politicians who ARE NOT FOR SALE.

That money attracts some pretty unprincipled, shady characters into our electoral system, willing to spread lies and deceptions and preach their non principled agendas in an effort to justify their lack of a moral core. David 'Blinded by the Money' Brock is a perfect example of the shady characters all that money has enriched over the years, willing to jump from side to side, wherever the money is offered.

Ordinary people do not repeat memes that have been corrected. And anyone expressing 'concern' over a candidates position on an issue, will lose that 'concern' once it is explained that there is no truth to what has caused that concern.

Talking point pushers ignore such information and keep on pushing and repeating those expensive talking points.

When that money is out of our system, these shady organizations, think tanks etc will have nothing to 'work' for and that will vastly improve the political dialogue in this country.

Which is why it is a top issue in this campaign, because it is so damaging to our democracy.
