It used to be a representative country. Now its a bought and paid for country. Whoever has the most money wins.

The way we choose our elected representatives. They are already bought. Our vote for them merely gives them the opportunity to do the buyer's biding and get paid a salary for doing it.

I would outlaw lobbyists. I would limit television ads. I would outlaw attack ads.
I would insist on any ad be issue oriented.I would make it a felony to attack a rival politician with personal attacks and I would not allow anything that was out of context. Explain just what you mean by that remark or comment, when did it happened, why was it done or said, what relevance does it have to his or her ability to govern.

Lets hear about what's good for the country, not the party. This isn't a chess match. Its not a game. It's our future.
Don't tell me you won't raise taxes. They might be necessary. We might be much worse off with whatever cuts you plan to make, and by the way what CUTS DO YOU PLAN TO MAKE.

Our new site is based on the notion that here in the United States, you can express yourself however you want. Hey, It's a Free Country, right? But we also know that political discourse has reached a point where people are talking past, not to, each other. We've been asking our guest bloggers "What does the phrase mean to you?" and "What's broken in politics, and how do we fix it?" Now we want to hear from you! Take the Free Country survey below. You don't have to answer all of the questions, just tell us what's on your mind.
