Does anyone suffer from the delusion that this obscene amount of legalized bribery will NOT affect policy?

When push comes to shove, will your candidate speak for YOU, or the CEOS of these $Billion Dollar$ industries?

Do these GIANTS expect a return on their investment?



"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans. I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans, family farmers, and people who haven't felt the benefits of the economic upturn."---Paul Wellstone

3. Wow. Hillary Clinton is on the top of almost all the lists.

What a surprise.

But we can fix this with a public campaign fund.

4. I agree, Public Funding of Campaigns is the Answer, but

there is a HUGE Catch22.

The "Electables" are on the Corporate Gravey Train.
Few will Bite the Hands that Feed Them once they are bought.






The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.

a picture says a thousand words...
some here can only 'reckonize pitchers' instead of the written word.

6. I own my candidate...

... and I just slipped him another hundred bucks this morning. And in the unlikely event he ends up the winner, I'll expect a return on my investment, too. But that will take a very different form than the expectations Ms. Clinton's corporate puppet masters have of her.

7. Very telling to those who want the next President to represent...

'WE THE PEOPLE'

Especially when one candidate on that list from the Democratic Party actually will be elected President, if he gets the Democratic Party nomination.

John Edwards is our only hope to bring our Government back to 'We The People.'

All the other leading candidates... More of the same.

Do you want to continue with Corporate America or do you want the United States of America back?
