ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!


It is time for clean and fair elections nation wide.  In the last three days I have received over 15 requests for money for different candidates and causes.  I have received them from John Kerry, John Slotz, the DSCC, the DLCC, True Majority, Moveon.org, Joe Biden, Act Blue and many others.  Can you chip in $85.00  for this, can you donate $5, 10,25, 50 or more for this.  Now you could say it is my own fault because I have given some money for various candidates and causes but come on, I am on a fixed income and to be showered with these emails is getting very annoying.
Have you ever stopped to think what good all that money could do?  Karl Rove is raising over $400,000,000.00 dollars to give to Republican candidates.  Yes that is four hundred million dollars.  So the Democrats obviously want to reach or surpass that amount so they can stay competitive.  This is insane that so much money is being spent by both parties.  My God we could begin to wipe out the deficit or feed millions of people with all of that money.  All of this is to try and buy an election and therefore achieve personal power.
We need to clean up the system so that our monies can be directed in more valuable ways.  Of course the powers that be in Washington will never support such a measure anymore than 100% of them would sign a pledge to clean up corruption in Washington.  They like it this way!
So my friends it is time to out the pressure on candidates and elected officials to change the way the system works.
