    Two new polls have been posted in the Poll section of the site.

    • Have recent price increases in gasoline caused any financial hardship for you or your household?
    • Should it be illegal for any candidate to accept a contribution from anyone who cannot legally vote for him/her?

    Honesty and politics. Oil and water ?

    Here we encourage discussion on honesty in politics ! Has it gotten worse ? Is it as always ?

    Every politician has a project or issue that the majority of his/her constituency has NO interest in. All politicians provide for wealthy supporters. And, wealthy supporters provide contributions to politicians that support them. Simply put, it is a symbiotic relationship. And, it has been accepted based on the belief that its human nature. We've accepted the border violations for that same reason. Many of us have that symbiotic attitude with illegal aliens for the sake of business.
    Who's fault is it that these things have gone unchecked ? Yours and mine. We have the vote.
    None of the other issues in our "Top Issues" can be resolved without this issue being first.
    THIS ISSUE OF CORRUPTION IS A PREREQUISITE TO ALL OTHER ISSUES.
    We invite your opinion and believe you will find the discussion stimulating, challenging and rewarding.
