Usually these type of ads have a picture of Washington don't they?

I suspect the answer is no. Not that the people at DoD/CIA are evil. I'm sure they are well meaning people and are good at what they do, but just check out how the Undersecretary fumbles as she describes the mission.

Corporations have too much say in politics. But maybe what SCOTUS shot down was only a bandaid anyway. Madison warned about the imbalance of influence. A large body is harder to corupt. We need to restore the level of representation that "the people" have in the House.

In 1920 the House was capped at 435. Today 700,000:1 is the average level of representation a congressional district. 30,000:1 was the level back when the country was founded.

It's not a new idea, but it doesn't get traction mainly because of the huge cost it would be to add 6,000 congressmen. But maybe there is a way.

It's not that I haven't gotten angry or disgusted at Republicans, but truth be told there are plenty of times I've painfully cringed at some Democrats. So I've gotten away from thinking of my self as a Democrat, at least in the partisan sense. There is a time for battles between left and right, but there is also a time where "the people" need to come together.
