The role of money in American politics is aided and abetted by the Electoral College. Each state legislature controls the way the electors vote as well as who they are. We all know that the price of a majority of state level legislators is way lower than ads for a national campaign. By amending the Constitution, Article 2 Section 1, to eliminate the college and count each persons vote for president we will make it virtually impossible for big money to buy all of our votes. There will never again be another tie vote.

Why is any person, corporation, or even foreign government, without a right to vote in a given election, allowed to contribute even one cent to try to affect that election's outcome? A resident of one state is not allowed to vote in another state's election, and so should not be allowed to make contributions. A corporation is not entitled to a vote; every individual employee and stockholder may have the right to vote in a given election, and the choice of whom to support is theirs, not their boss's.

Arizona Governor, Jan Brewer, feels that most Arizona state jobs can be better performed by "professional" employees working for private companies. Many state employees have been put out of work by the outsourcing of state jobs, particularly health services positions in the Department of Corrections. To that extent, we feel that the people of the State of Arizona would be better served by a professional manager from outside of Arizona running the State.

What America needs is a vision for the future that backed by government and private funding translates into new businesses and industries designed to meet the challenges of today.

Candidates apply for elected positions get elected to these positions without any Democratic process (elections) or appointments by government, and to add more insult to injury these candidates are allowed to transfer to other elected offices in different jurisdictions without elections or following procedures and process. This FRAUD upon the voters and citizens of the State of California. Basically a candidate can obtain an elected offices in Long Beach and transfer to Inglewood without being re-elected or going through election process, however that candidates can defraud the voters and citizens of the State of California.

Limiting contributions to SuperPACS, Restricting Lobbyist access to elected officials.

For many years Government officials have been taking advantage of high pay; long, paid vacations; and pensions unlike that of anything anyone really has a right to. Sure they are in charge of running our country, but others out there are in charge of supporting and securing our country that do not get even a 1/3 of that of the government officials. It seems a bit of a cheat that while so many of our nation is loosing their jobs, houses and health the officials are not impacted by the same threat to income and foreclosure that the majority of the country are subjected to.

We the people own the air waves and broadband spectrum. Private industry leases these from us to gain billions of dollars in profit each quarter. We have the right to require them to provide free and equal air time for all qualified candidates. This will provide an opportunity for more voices to be heard and will the reduce the influence of wealthy individuals and corporate elites.

No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay on retirement. While Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women, and receive full-pay retirement after serving one term. It just does not make any sense.

Reform congressional pay to tie compensation to total days worked, productivity and efficiency.
