“Political parties exist to secure responsible government and to execute the will of the people.
From these great staffs, both of the old parties have ganged aside.
Instead of instruments to promote the general welfare they have become the tools of corrupt interests which use them in martialling to serve their selfish purposes.
Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.
To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day.”
-Theodore Roosevelt
Term Limits. Election integrity. STOP political donations, PACS etc from outside the specific representative’s geographical area……if I desire to represent the people of northern Ohio, then ONLY the PEOPLE of northern Ohio should be allowed to donate to my campaign……not Soros or Gates or Zuck, not someone from Arkansas, not ANY corporation….only my constituents to whom I should be accountable as their representative, STOP the buying of influence where it starts…..and make it a federal crime to funnel money to constituents in the candidates area.
