Laws written supposedly for the benefit of the American people, in reality, are written by and for special interests and lobbyists.”“America’s political crisis has reached a breaking point.

He thinks we can fix what is wrong with the system. “All is not lost,” he says, noting that a movement began to take hold four years ago.Click the following link to learn my insider secrets to media publicity for social impact: http://bit.ly/75offmedia.
