Complete Campaign Finance Reform (CCFR)! This is the core of where we gain our Government back so they will fight like hell! They write the laws, pick who runs for office, and they do it on the County level on up. We need a Charismatic leader who will not be bought off to keep it focused. We need to organize rally's and keep doing so until we get big enough to make the change. The politicians will not do it without enough protest in THEIR district before they could be forced to do the right thing. It is not enough to say we will elect "good" people to office. We have been doing that since the beginning. They go there and are made to realize they can do little on their own and if they don't play ball they will be out after only 1 term. The perks are extremely nice and they do not wish to lose them. They are made wealthy through land sales and purchases. Do you think that Rick Perry, who has worked in government his whole life got rich on the side b/c he was smart? It's called, "I buy a million dollar property for $5,000 from corporation A, sell it later to corporation B for much more.... CCFR PEOPLE!!!
