Nov 25

are:

Citizens United must be abolished.

Things ran pretty good back then.

Our democracy was never intended to make ones self a millionaire. And grifting was NEVER heard of. NOR allowed. It was frowned upon and never attempted until the corrupt people took charge and changed everything. All in their favor.

What needs to be done? Win elections. Get control. Get rid of Citizens United. Allowing the mess we currently have must be stopped.

It all starts in 26.
