I really wish they would get more into model legislation, though.

(14,255 posts)Having the legislation all ready to go, like ALEC, would be fantastic. But having the huge corporate Koch money to grease the way is problematic.
And I am sooooo tired of being asked for more and more money in order to counter the Kochs. What a huge money-making scam politics is, these days.

(1,309 posts)The politicians are not only not working at their jobs, they also seem to be looking for the easiest way for them to win. Their continued pleas for more nad more money and their sham urgent news baloney is proff they have no shame. They are suckers for advertizibg and forget that people are their best resources but then again to get people you have to make them believe in what you are doing. That takes work, something legislators do not want to do anymore. Money does not buy elections. it is the lack of individual activism of citizens that give elections away.
