Whether you are a democrat or a republican or somewhere in between this shit has got to stop, we need a revolution.

Next month?s midterm elections will be the most costly congressional races in US history, with business interests contributing three-quarters of the estimated $2.6bn that will be spent, says a non-partisan research group.

Personally I think they should limit any donation to $1000. That's from a company or a individual. This whole corporate America and their lobbyists ruining this country need to stop.

It's pretty much come to the point, that the people will have to hire lobbyist to get the politicians to do anything.
