I could send a note to my congressmen to suggest that we change the Constitution to read....

"Of professional politicians, for the wealthy, by the wealthy"

Then say that if we are not going to be transparent and tell it like it is

THEN,

We should go back to following the Constitution and have a government
"Of the people, for the people and by the people"

The jig is up folks.

All we have to do now is turn the ship in the right direction
In spite of the Republican'ts trying to stay the course.
