2. America has become a joke.
This whole lobbyist vs. Americans fight has become huge.
How long will we continue to put up with this stuff?
Worse yet, what can we do about it when our leaders are bought and paid for?

The american government is what needs reform.
If lobbyists can buy politicians, then our system will never work.

I have just recently got involved in politics.

And Every day since, I have been blown away with just how corrupt our entire government is.

5. And another thing -- I *approve* of role-call votes.
I think when Congress votes on anything it should be on the damned record.
