By taking the first step, and continuing on until all corruption is gone, honesty in government is restored, and our government is controlled once again by the MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, not by just those with enough money to buy our elected representatives and their votes.
.
.
The first step??? The MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE must register and go to the polls and vote!
.
.
Don't think this can happen???? Don't think that the American People have this much power???? Just look at what happened with Net Neutrality when MILLIONS of Americans signed petitions, and called and emailed the FCC and their elected representatives!!!!!!

“We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate.”― Thomas Jefferson
Things will not change until:
* Citizens United is revoked
* Whistle-blowers are praised, not harassed and prosecuted!!!
* ALL influence of our elected representatives by the wealthy and corporate America through HUGE campaign contributions, more simply known as BRIBES is STOPPED!!
* The MAJORITY of Americans register and actually vote
* The MAJORITY of Americans pay attention to what their government is doing
* The MAJORITY of Americans become involved with their government again
* The MAJORITY of Americans pay attention to how their representatives vote
* The MAJORITY of Americans call and write their representatives telling them why they want
* The ability of lobbyists to control our elected representatives with influence through bribery IS stopped!!
* The revolving door between industry and the government agencies that regulate them and demand that agencies like the FDA & USDA & EPA protect the American People and the planet & environment, not the corporations they are suppose to regulate is CLOSED PERMANENTLY!
* We set a two term limit for all elected offices, the longer an elected person is in office the more favors they owe!!
* It costs MULTI-MILLIONS of $$$$$ to be elected to congress. Right now these people have no choice but to accept bribes from and return 'favors' to those that make HUGE campaign contributions to them. WE MUST TAKE MONEY OUT OF OUR ELECTIONS AND COMPLETELY LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD FOR ALL CANDIDATES IF THINGS ARE EVER GOING TO CHANGE!
* It MUST be a criminal act to accept money or gifts, BRIBES, for ALL government and/or elected officials AND those that offer them!
* There must be a COMPLETE independent audit of the Pentagon and ALL Defense Contractors, with all payments put on hold to them until they ALL pass a completely independent audit. Cost over-runs must stop, and all Bottomless-Pit projects must end!!! There has been no accountability for decades under the auspices of ‘National Security.’ There is so much waste that money flows like water by the BILLIONS freely every single day to the entire defense industry and then back to key people in government in the form of bribes. The only result of this MASSIVE spending is that it has bred the bribery and corruption that is rampant today and costs the American People HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF $$$$$$ EVERY SINGLE YEAR!!!!!!!
* We MUST bring back the strong anti-trust laws of the 50's & 60's and BREAK UP EVERY TO-BIG-TO-FAIL CORPORATIONS IN AMERICA AND STOP THE 'END COMPETITION THROUGH ACQUISITION' GAME THAT CORPORATIONS HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOR THIRTY YEARS OR MORE!!!!!
* We MUST revoke EVERY Free Trade Agreement that America has signed and make it more difficult, not easier to import foreign goods into this country. The ONLY people that have benefited from Free Trade Agreements are the wealthy and corporations!!! MILLIONS and MILLIONS MORE American Jobs are sent overseas with every new Free Trade Agreement that is signed!!! Every one of these Free Trade Agreements is negotiated in secret, because if the truth was known beforehand the American People would be outraged. With every new Free Trade Agreement so far there has been a promise of more American Jobs, when if fact the effect is just the opposite, millions and millions more American jobs are sent overseas with each new Free Trade Agreement!! With every Free Trade agreement so far our government has been paid to lie to the American People about what these Free Trade Agreements will cause to happen by the corporations that will benefit from them, and these corporations are the only ones that have EVER benefited from these Free Trade Agreements!!!!!!!
* We MUST Repeal the Patriot Act and return EVERY constitutional right that has been stolen from the American People to the American People!! The aftermath of 9/11 was drastically over exaggerated by those in power who had an agenda. The first item on that agenda: The Patriot Act. The Second item on the agenda: Go to war in Iraq and take down Saddam, who had absolutely NOTHING to do with 9/11 and had no Weapons of Mass Destruction. Why?? A personal agenda by those in power to strip the American People of more of their constitutionally guaranteed rights and to make LOTS & LOTS of $$$$$ for themselves and their 'buddies', those that profit from war.
* Most members of law enforcement are honest and honorable people. Because of the power they hold and the position they hold law enforcement must be beyond reproach and must be held accountable for racism, discrimination and bigotry. Most importantly law enforcement must be held accountable for the use of unnecessary force, especially the use of unnecessary deadly force that takes the life of even one person. Members of law enforcement are not above the law, but are suppose to be subject to the same laws which they are charged with enforcing. Those in law enforcement that violate the law are suppose to also be held accountable by the law!! The American People are not the opposition in a war, they are the people who employ law enforcement "To Protect And Serve." It is about time that they were treated that way once again.
* The MAJORITY of the American People MUST stand up and DEMAND that government serve THE MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, and not just those that have the money to buy our government and our elected representatives and their votes!!!!
