| November Elactions...
They are all sleeze, no matter who we vote for. As soon as they are elected, the money pours in, and they are corrupted. While many politicians are also Lawyers, they can just rationalize their choices with legalese - or create their own.
Until the day all Lawyers are shot and killed, this will happen. Of course, when the economy keeps tanking and Wall Street finally dives further as foreign investors pull their money out, they will turn on their own. Can't get blood from a stone.
That is when it will REALLY get interesting - eh Mr Valenti?

Yeah, um, good point, but elections are the only real power people have. There are an awful lot of people on these boards...most are pissed off as hell.
But how many unregistered are getting registered, NOW? They have do it in advance and it doesn't take that long. (People sometimes seem to act like it's worse than a trip to the dentist.  )
I read a lot about letter-writing, but that won't really do anything. Votes against incumbents...elections lost, political careers ended...that's the only thing that affects the remaining incumbents.
And it's consistent with the general complaint people raise, "As soon as they get in there, they're corrupted!" So, what do people have to lose? Keep tossing out the politicians until they finally start listening. Even if they never do, if voters can't stand them, they risk nothing by trading them in for others. One thing's for sure though...politicians with career-lengths and 'seniority' that mirror Jack Valenti's won't listen and won't change...EVER, no matter how many times people complain.
There are thousands, if not millions of people egregiously put off by the state of affairs in this field. If they dispensed with boycotts and letter-writing campaigns, and simply had the basic perseverance to bide their time and go to the polls one day out of every 2 years, things would start to change. I'll be there in November, helping to say 'Adios' to every politician currently in office.
