Today the esteem for Congress with the American populace is lower than it has ever been. Only 12% of voters think that our elected representatives are doing a sufficient job. Witnessing the struggles of our political system to come to grips with even the day-to-day functioning of our government it is ever more apparent there is a fundamental need for structural change. Whether you fall on either side of the political spectrum or are firmly in the middle, most American voters and politicians alike would agree that special-interest groups have control of our political process.
The Renew Democracy Amendment will establish a seminal change in whom our elected officials are reliant upon for funding their campaigns. It will become the individual citizen voter instead of the diversity of special interest groups that now control campaign finance. The Renew Democracy Amendment will dramatically reduce the influence of the political parties over the individual elected official by eliminating their participation in funding campaigns.
Whether you think it is the “other side’s” special-interest groups that are ruining America, or that all of them that are to blame, special interest groups are certainly the major contributing factor to the dysfunction and gridlock endemic in the American political process. Why does a politician care what special interests thinks beyond what political power exists from their voting block relative to the other voters they represent? Because of their campaign contributions.
We do have the power to change this and we can. Support the Renew Democracy Amendment and tell a friend! |
