The Simple Answer - It is a set of rules, for the Federal Government to follow, written by the people. That means We The People
are supposed to be in charge of the Government. From time to time, as
we see the need, we should update the rules. Many Lobbyists and many
politicians have opened huge holes in the rule book and it is well past
time to Fix Politics.
Many Responsible Americans are becoming aware that lobbyists create and promote most legislation in the country today. No Congressman or Senator even has the time to read all the language in the bills they vote into law. If you believe that this should continue, leave this Website for another. However, if you want to take charge of what is happening in Washington, D.C. then learn about what we propose and support our efforts to throw the lobbyists out of power.
MONEY - "Whoever has the most of it usually prevails." We all know that is not what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they established our nation. They knew that rich and powerful interests would try to usurp control of this nation by many devious means and methods. But...they also gave us the tools to monitor and fix political problems.
Currently, Congressmen and Senators do their legislative tasks in Washington, D.C., well out of the sight of their constituents. They are where the lobbyists can reach them in person. Many times, a politician will state something popular in public and do the opposite with buried text in a piece of legislation. See all the designed in loopholes in McCain-Feingold
Myth #1 - "Nobody Can Do anything about it." This is so not so. But it does take a lot of us to do it. We can't do it through our Political Parties but we can do it by enlisting the support and help of our fellow Americans. Most people really do care but they just don't know what to do or have a track to run on. - Fix Politics is that track and it is starting now.
MYTH #2 - "The situation is hopelessly broken." - Many people agree until they see what we propose to do about it. The solution is simple to understand, but the task will be very difficult but also very possible to execute. That is why we need your support right now and in the near future. Regardless of your political affiliation, or lack thereof, we all can benefit by taking on this challenge. Read the proposed plan as it is written right now. It will improve as membership increases, wisdom from new members is added and the plan is deployed.
MYTH #3 - "Americans are too discouraged to care anymore." Most really want someone to take the lead and fix our political problems. If we lead the way, they will join our cause. That is why you are so important to us. Please help us lead and encourage other Responsible Americans to do the same.

THE SOLUTIONS WE PROPOSE:"It has been said that many hands make light work." These solutions will take lots of work by lots of people because in order for the people to overcome the Lobbyists, we will have to assert our rights of Citizenship to propose and pass several Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The Proposed Constitutional Amendments follow. More may be added later.

Amendment 31 NOTE - This amendment is designed to discourage wealthy individuals from buying their way into elected office.

No money may be paid into any candidate's treasury. No candidate may loan himself or herself any money whatsoever. NOTE:"We need a lot of help on this amendment!"
Amendment 32 NOTE - The wording needs improvement but the goal is to get the money out of politics without restraining freedom of speech and having some wise guy get this amendment thrown out by the Supreme Court of the United States. May we have your wisdom and input? No wording will be final until passed on by the Founding Members.
