Again, my point is not to affect the current campaign. I would be thrilled if this is addressed after November. What I am concerned about is:

- Gerrymandering of all our house seats, so that nobody in congress has accountability. Even in 2006, over 90% of them kept their job.
- Loss of interest in politics due to the vast majority of people in the US not having their vote count for anything (if you live in a clear red or blue state, your vote for president truly doesn't matter)
- Loss of civil liberties
- Transformation of a free press to an infotainment vehicle that truly doesn't check power
- Insane influence of special interests in our campaigns

And now, the continuing removal of the separation of church and state. This is a trend that has been ongoing since the 80s. I don't need my prejudices questioned. What I need to see is tax exempt organizations agreeing to the rules they signed up to.
