The only way to put an end to the corrupting influence of corporate and special interest money is to outlaw private contributions to political campaigns.All elections should be publically financed with taxpayer money.Equal amounts to all official candidates with no candidate permitted to use their own resources.This would make all participants free to serve the needs of the people rather than the wealthiest contributer.None would have an advantage financially and could concentrate on the issues important to the country.

Eliminate the 60 vote threshold and instead go to a simple majority so we can get something done.

Did you know that the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Central Banking System, is owned by private banks and NOT the Government? We all work hard for our money! 100% of all income tax collected goes to paying off interest to the privately owned Fed Reserve and the IRS is a private collection agency for the Fed. As Americans, we need to take back the Federal Reserve which would decrease national debt. Income tax should be re-distributed to the American public or used for the betterment of OUR nation. Let's make the Federal Reserve a Federal agency...once again!

Our media has become a forum for interpretation and bias. Propaganda is being disguised as news, allowing the unsuspecting public to receive disinformation. How can we make informed choices without accurate information?

Why we let people attack gov, when it us that miseducation

It is time for ALL Americans to come together. Can anyone say, 'the corrupting influence of money in politics?' Please ask our elected reps to reform the law so as to ensure they are beholden to the people and not monied interests of all stripes.

All elected government officials and the Supreme Court need to have term limits....

I am concerned about "superpacs:" money. Can there be a way to take this back to the Supreme Court? Can the people do something? Already, the wealthy were able to buy the election of the person of their choice. WE ALL KNOW THIS IS NOT FAIR. The media must be made to cooperate or be faced with collusion in defiance of the constitution.

U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings asked Walker to reply by June 1st to the following: (1) If he disputes that he met with Diane Hendricks, one of his top donors, on January 18, 2011. (2) If he disputes that, in response to a question from Ms. Hendricks about whether Wisconsin could become “a completely red state,” he responded “Oh, yeah,” and that his “first step” as Governor would be to “deal with collective bargaining for all public employee unions” in order to “divide and conquer”. (3) If he now wishes to withdraw his sworn testimony before the Committee in which he claimed that he never had a conversation with respect to his actions in Wisconsin and using them to punish members of the opposition party and their donor base. Rep. Cummings continued: "In the interview with your local Fox affiliate, you stated that “the facts are the facts.” We agree, and in this instance, the facts were captured on videotape. Did Scott Walker lie under oath? Wisconsin voters would like to know.

Big Money and its attendant corruption have taken over our elections and legislation. Please act to take back our government.

Let's get the money out of politics. It's no doubt that our entire political system has been corrupted by the vast sums of money flowing through every campaign. It's time to stop it! Our politicians obviously pander to their special interest groups and vote on issues, not for the benefit of the country, but rather to "keep the cash rolling in". Let's create a system where anyone can donate any amount they choose, but the money doesn't go to fund a specific campaign, but rather into a pool where every campaign will receive the same amount for the same position. Another words, the Presidential camaign, which this time around will probably surpass two billion dollars being spent, each candidate will receive the same amount to fund their campaign. No outside donors, no emails trying to raise cash, no fund raisers, no dinners. Just the money provided by this pool. Maybe in this way, our politicians will care more about their constituents and less about their donors. Maybe we will even get something accomplished in congress.

The United States of America is a Democracy, and the people we vote for represent US. If they would truly like to represent the people, then they should, at most, receive a salary that averages what people in their districts earn. It would cut costs and reduce debt.
