The moment ordinary citizens choose to make a "career" out of serving as an elected official, corporations began to suck the life out of democracy.

Career politicians don't know when to exit the stage and the longer they stay--the easier they can be manipulated and bought by corporations and betray the citizenry, democracy and the Republic.

I vigorously debate friends and foe alike about my views on career politicians--and I stand my ground. I believe as an elected official you can effectively accomplish the goals on behalf of your constituents without holding on to the post for 15-20 years or longer. Career politicians also stifle young would-be-elected officials from seeking office. Sadly, new and innovative ideas that would transform America into a vibrant and thriving nation are lost. This is especially true since we know that campaign finance reform is a forgone conclusion after the corrupt U.S. Supreme Court green lighted corporations to buy, buy, and buy career politicians.

The former Republican Party now taken over by the Tea Party, but still staring the same stale, moldy group of cartoon characters cannot lead America to prosperity. President Obama has given them everything they've asked for and still--they have not created one (1) job. Their recommendations to fix the Republic's decayed infrastructure borders on lunacy and treason. In essence we have a political party that believes if they cannot control every aspect of the Republic--they would rather destroy it.

Every citizen that is registered to vote must proceed to vote and remove career politicians from the perch of the Republic's government and infuse a new generation of public servants that place the "needs" of the majority ahead of the "greed" from the minority. Until this is accomplished, we will continue to witness the rising tide of Bachmann, Santorum, Boehner, McConnell, Cain and Duke making a mockery of democracy--a gift that millions of Americans have and continue to sacrifice their lives for.

"Progressive will bring balance to the Republic"
