it isn't rocket science. why hasn't congress been able to get it done?

had enough?

who do you trust? 
   - republicans
   - democrats?
   - republican and democratic parties that are financed by billionaire corporations and billionaire PACs that supply us with candidates for public office?

   - lobbyists?
   - the biased news media?
   - or do you think for yourself?

to fix our dysfunctional government is simple and easy--stop voting for republican and democratic party candidates, who don't represent the best interests of our country to move our country forward. 

voting for a republican or a democrat is a vote for the party--the hand that holds the puppet/money strings. 

public domain

in the next election--national, state or local--vote for someone who shares your values. 

even with their billion dollar donors, the republican and democratic parties will shrivel up and die if no one votes for their ineffective candidates.

nothing will be better for our country.


the same goes for biased media--stop patronizing divisive, biased media and they'll go out of business. nothing will be better for the USA.
