I feel that yes one has the right to do and say what they want as long as they don't infringe on anyone else's rights. I also feel that the discourse should be civil and within standards of decency.

:

I feel that money is what's wrong with politics. The money raised and spent is obscene. How can we ever know who and what is influencing our legislators.

:

We need fair and affordable elections. We need full disclosure about where money is coming from. Their should be limits on how much is spent, to open the system. This would truly make our government a Democracy...Tea Parties, whatever...let people decide. The two major parties are not representing us...

:

Also we don't need career politicians...We need term limits. We limit the President...why not the Congress which has so much power....

Thank you

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.
