"We've allowed our elections to become a bazaar for special interest & corporations to broker their support for favor & influence, if not to dominate the electoral process entirely. Our representatives have become little more than the middlemen & women between the self interest of corporate America & the law making process."- Lou Dobbs (Independence Day) Lobbyist from Halliburton wrote our Energy policy. Lobbyist from Tyson Foods & Western Union decide our Immigration policies. China manipulates our monetary & Trade policies. Politicians from both parties allow think tanks funded by big Oil, big Pharmaceutical & big Banking interest to write our domestic policy as well as our foreign policy. Follow the money: Who bought off your candidate?

We hear it every 4 years. But the truth is they have almost the same financial backers & there’s lobbyist bribing whichever party takes office. We need REAL CHANGE! The kind of change that can only come from new parties & publicly funded elections. Because as long as Big Oil can write our Energy policy, we’ll always be dependent on foreign oil. As long as China can set our Trade policies we’ll always have record Trade deficits. There is a reason why nothing gets fixed in Washington. REAL CHANGE has to come from the bottom up. For more you're invited to a frank discusion of this nations problems at: www.votestrike.com
www.votestrike.com I created a website www.votestrike.com for you the voters because whichever party you belong to they have failed you. The website has ambitious goals of how to end the two party system & the third party myth. Modeled after the fall of the Berlin wall, the Polish overthrow of the communist government & the Phillipines removal of Marcos. All accomplished without firing a shot. But we do not rely on the failed tactics of the past instead we use the election system & the very votes & voters this system relies upon. And the site also offers campaign funding sources- who's bought off your candidate? As well as your solutions to education, lobbyist, healthcare, illegal immigration, the war on terror, the war in Iraq, crime, drugs, pedophiles, taxes. And a link page with 1000 links to more on these topics. I'm here to ask you to check it out, it's free. And you can submit content. Thanks for your time, my name is chris.
