I want to see a principled politician. How does this happen? Elections are won by whoever can raise the money. Most of the money comes from businesses that have a vested interest that is different from the common man. This puts politicians at odds with the people who elect them. Principles become less important than money and continued time in government (power). We either need to move the money out of politics or get politicians willing to do the right thing no matter what the consequences. I don’t see either happening anytime soon.

I realize that there are differences in opinions between republicans and democrats, but I think that both are making decisions that are not based on those core values. I need to look into what can be done to help out on this. I worry about small things that happen in my life, but I wonder if my time and energy might be better spent trying to make a difference. I wonder if I could make a difference. Maybe I try to get some money, and then the power to make a difference will come with that.
