The NY Times’ Quote of the Day illustrates how broken our legislative process has become:

"Coal and nuclear count their lobbying budgets in the tens of millions. We count ours in the tens of thousands."
RHONE RESCH, president of the Solar Energy Industries Association

Where there is money, there is corruption. Our government no longer cares about steering the ship of state, nor is it concerned about helping it’s people. It gives no thought to securing a future of any kind, let alone a visionary future like the kind we dreamed during the space race.

The concern of our government, comprised of millionaires and elitists, is to further the padding of their wallets. Our congressmen (and women) are slaved to their own greed, puppets of corporate interests and are sold to the highest bidder. They are commodities in a futures market of votes as volatile as any exchange market on Wall Street. They have lost their way.

And people wonder why so few Americans bother to vote…
