What happened to “...of the people, by the people, for the people...” ?

The real problem with government at all levels is the massive amounts of money spent every year by special interests and/or lobbyists to get the people's representatives to do their bidding --- for their own purposes. The community good is generally thrown-out the window.

If any law is truly needed and should be approved, it is the elimination of campaign dollars and special perks provided by wealthy campaign contributors. It would level the field for the people and may re-direct government to function more intelligently and responsibly as our forefathers had wanted.
