Clinton was in office in 1999! Unfortunately democrats are the problem not the solution.

All,

Grayson is a wonderful new face on the scene and he has done and said a lot. BUT, he's a Republicrat. He may be valid, but as long as the Republicrats are in office, he won't do anything that significantly differs from party agenda.

As long as you seek change through the Republicrats, this is what you'll get. I'm trying to get you to see reality, not smiley faces in the crowd put there to amuse you and keep you from reacting.

THINK!! Obama was "change" right???

[AnotherAgnostic]

Republicrats... I like your take on this current political situation.

Great! Let's get this ball rolling!

Everyone who reads this, please, take 5 minutes of your precious time and let Rep. Grayson know that we are sick and tired of the corruption and he is the Knight to slay that damn dragon!

[Davetech23]

I do Not understand why campaign finance reform is not the number one objective of every honest legislator.

Get the damn money out of our legislative process! Stop legalized bribery!

Is that so hard to understand?

Dave,

I think you answered your own question. The operative words in your post are, "honest legislators."

[Davetech23]

Well then, that should be the ultimate test of those who claim to be honest. We need to challenge them to prove their honesty by pushing for reform, since the root of the problem has become so apparent.

Been saying this for years- it may be fundamental for any real sea change in the broken legislative process. Please include that thought in your next call to your 'representatives', as will I.

[Davetech23]

I just sent Rep. Grayson youtube email begging him to spearhead campaign finance reform and to challenge other "honest" politicians to get behind him.

[julsHz]

You are one step ahead of me, friend, but not for long! Grayson is one that may actually listen. I like his style.

I've come to the same conclusion, Dave. Until the public finances elections and private money play no part in who gets elected, we can only fight symptoms of the disease that controls Congress and our other elected officials. The disease itself is fund-raising requirements that cause politicians to sell out to the moneyed interests.
