and their ilk! They know that it is a big deal, the Russian infiltration, but they will take advantage of it and remain silent.

We must make them pay! We need to let them know we ARE going to vote them out along with help from some of their own supporters.

More people are paying attention now and are fired up. I just wish we would all band together and demand a Constitutional Amendment to get the money out of our politics. We would need to have some big victories at the state level in order to get this passed. This is war! We must attack Republican control on ALL FRONTS, local, state, and national. The Plutocrats have stolen our government and are writing their dream laws and eliminating regulations that protect all of us just so these corporations can add to their already huge bottom lines.

I say two core primary issues: Get the money out of politics with a Constitutional Amendment and Voting is a Right with a Constitutional Amendment.

If we don't have fair and accessible elections, we will never be able to vote them out of power.

Citizens have to open their eyes, see what is going on. The gop is tearing the very fabric of this country apart. Soon it will be VERY rich or VERY poor. Lobbyists are filling their coffers to get their agendas passed. Ordinary people are being royally screwed.
