It was a huge issue last fall, but seemingly forgotten since the Democratic victory in November. The recent support by the Democratic leadership of a covert trade bill, which does not have have the necessary labor and environmental provisions, draws attention back to the real need for reform in DC.
The need for reform is not just a red or blue issue, it is a money issue. Money is controling DC right now, be it Democrat or Republican. We need the lobbyist out, and we need to get rid of the politcians who are directed by that money. Lobby reform, term limits and publically funded election are the only ways to curtail this problem. If we can't adopt these reforms, you will see Democratic politicains committing the same betrayals as the Republicans we just ousted.
