Lost Again?

We have lost it again. Politics is a dirty game played by politicians before every election. Party politics and media turn the voter's mind away from real issues that impact real people. 

The real people who can become good leaders suffer because they don't have the financial support of wealthy donors. I find true democratic principles disappearing. Our elections are biased in favor of those who have money or access to media. Money power has taken over. 

The only protection ordinary people have against money and media is an education that will broaden our thinking power and enable us to find ways to prevail even against the lobbyists. 

Please help us firm up the shaky foundations of democracy at home before we create war zones in other nations so that we can establish democracy abroad.
