Regarding money spent on campaigns, I completely disagree that it should be limited, or that some committee pick the candidates and allow only those candidates to run. If we think we have a mess now, wait until that idea is adopted. I believe a better way would be to mandate that all contributions be made public w/i a very short period of time. That would allow all to inspect where the money was coming from and whether there was any quid pro quo.

My letters were respectful but firm in my concern that we have only one Senator representing us for a prolonged period of time. To the best of my recollections, he has only made about a half-dozen attempts to vote during his campaign for President. I believe he has made a statement that “I will vote on important issues – or issues where my vote will make a difference”. That being said, I guess the Congress has brought about a half-dozen “important issues up for a vote over the past year or more? In my opinion his attitude “cheapens” the office of Senator and Representative of the People. To date, I have received no answer from the McCain offices.

As I did not receive an answer from the McCain camp, I escalated my concerns to the Republican National Committee. Likewise, no answer has been received.

Presidential elections are not “Of the People, By the People, or For the People”. They are controlled by, and for, the Republican and Democratic Committees. They control local, state, and national elections. Don’t believe me? Look up the current rules for delegates and super-delegates. See if you can find “wiggle room” for an Independent Candidate to fairly win any National election. Won’t happen.

I’m convinced that another decade or two of RNC/DNC chicanery will, little by little, eradicate many of the remaining democratic freedoms we have left. They (look up who the RNC and DNC leadership is) firmly control the economic and judicial processes to a point that an honest, middle class person does not stand a chance. Like other rulers in past history (Rome, Germany, China, South America’s, etc.), we are destined for only two classes of people. Those few that control all the money - and those that have nothing.

The sad thing is, that most Americans don’t pay enough attention to even see it happening right in front of them. Far to many people will chose a candidate this election purely based on gender, religion, or race. Of the three major candidates left, the American people have absolutely no say in future decisions on the “war”, or on Illegal Immigration. Clinton, Obama, and McCain all support maintaining a conflict in the middle-East because it financially benefits the majority of their biggest campaign contributors, and they support amnesty because there is a huge voting block (legal and illegal voters) that can effect their election. Majority rules? Not in this lifetime!
