are not bought off. Unfortunately, there are not enough who are honest and not bought off. It falls on us, "We the people," to make the difference. There could not be a more clear example of the corruption in Washington than what they attached to this "Must Pass" bill!
Bernie Sanders is the only politician so far to publicly come out supporting the solution. The solution is to cut the bribes off by eliminating campaign contributions and instituting Publicly Funded Elections. Also, locking the "Revolving Door" between government and private companies.
I would love for Senator Warren to join Senator Sanders and run on the same ticket. I think those chances are slim to none.
It will take us to join various groups that are battling the symptoms of this corruption, i.e. Women's rights, education, environment, and all of the other problems that we face that are not being addressed because lobbyist are opposed to them.
With a united front and committed masses of informed citizens who understand that both Party's are corrupted by the money of the corporations and the 1%, we may have a chance to take our government back. It will take people like those of us at DU who are informed on the issues and do not fall for the propaganda that is spewing on us from all sides!
I hope those of you reading this will commit to spreading the word and letting Bernie know we can support his run. We could also encourage Senator Warren to join him in the fight of our time!
