Your Child Could Become a Member of Congress If It's OK with Pelosi & McCain

In Some countries like Iran and China there is someone in government who decides which citizens can and which cannot run for office. The same is becoming the case here in America. Gerrymandering is designed to give incumbents an advantage and is widely practiced in the US. In many states votes for write in candidates are not even counted unless the candidate has done a bunch of paperwork that is cleared by the registrar of voters. Campaign finance “reform” is a farce that makes it nearly impossible for nonincumbents to mount a competitive campaign. Now the Democratic leadership in congress wants to dictate to members of congress how and where they can communicate on the internet. We no longer have to look overseas to see how repressive regimes behave.
