Special interests groups have taken over Washington. The middle class have no representation in Congress. Laws that are passed are about money for the rich not the benefit of the people and if the people do benefit, it just happens to be a by-product of the process.
Transparency is a good place to start.
Require all political candidates to start every advertisement with how much money they have accepted from special interests and whom those special interests represent.
Television, radio, billboards, signage every ad should now have that requirement.
