We no longer have Representative Democracy because our politicians represent their Donors.

Renewable energy is stymied in this country because of it. Public schools are starved of it. No rational gun restrictions; single payer health coverage; no Wall Street prosecutions; regulatory agencies unable to do their jobs; oligarchies in banking and media allowed to exists; and constant war to benefit the MIC to name a few.

We do have to get the money out of politics!
