What We Need is an Effective Citizens Lobby

December 31, 2009

Over the last five years many people have suggested I start a third political party; a party that represents the broad independence who are seeking both common sense, the common good, and personal freedom. After watching the health care debate and seeing this mess that we have created, I am convinced that we don’t need another political party. The problem is that large economic interests have figured out how to corrupt all political parties. It matters not whether you are a Democrat or Republican, the system itself is corrupting. We don’t need another political party, what we need is a very effective Citizens Lobby. Lobbyists are those who are actually writing the laws and putting them in the hands of our legislatures. It is time that we write our own laws and do away with laws that reward misbehavior. At least that’s how I am thinking today.
