Tons of Money

It is amazing that this year, according to some news analysts, there has been over 230 million dollars  in negative campaign advertisements against Mr. Obama and the poor guy is not even running. Okay, he is not winning the popularity contest ; and things have not been going  that great for the majority of us.  It is not exactly his fault alone. Elections are won and lost on the issues; Republicans and   Democrats have pretty clear views. Nevertheless, it is always party politics; it is just a vicious cycle.Probably the most significant issue is the amount of money that has been spent during this election cycle, nearly 3.4 billion dollars. It is really obscene! All that money being pumped into the media campaigns  proves to me that one is just as bad as the other. This kind of money can certainly be used for better purposes. There has got to be a better way! Insert an Independent  into Congress. this election cycle. This November 4th, WRITE-IN THOM JENKINS  on the Congressional line; I promise to fight tooth and nail for campaign reform and to end the influence of money in OUR  government.
