Getting started, part one

Well a recent poll said that over 40% of the voters do not want the current congress reelected, that shouldn't surprise anyone, not after the mess over health and bank reform, ya like what reform, the current health reform bell is not much more than a give away it the insurance industry.
As for reforming the banks, ya hold your breath on that one, not going to happen. Is it any wonder that people are fed up with it. The thing is nothing will change until we take special interests out of the picture entirely. To do that we need a voting public that will stand up and say no, yes vote some new people in but make it clear that there are things that must be changed or they have a very short stay.
The thing is there supposed to represent us the people, instead they represent corporate America. we need several things to change before we the people will see a government that is responsible to up, and not the special interests.
One; a total ban on any money from corporations to any party or individual. Two; fund elections with government money, its actually cheaper, everyone gets the same amount, no private funding at all, require tv and radio to carry political adds giving the same air time to all. thirdly; strict term limits.
