Rent it, or watch Mr. Smith Goes To Washington on cable tv. Forget Mr. Smith, we actually need Jimmy Stewart to bring our nation back to its roots, its citizens.
There have been too many years of lobbyists buying the lifestyles of prominent politicians, and their votes, too.
If it is a case of money, as the salaries aren’t great enough to buy a home in D.C. and keep one back home, that gap should be met, but that is not the case. Those who vie for office now can afford to finance their own campaigns, and there’s the rub. Only rich people can run for office.
No-one who has to raise the money can challenge an incumbent, and those who’ve won the position have sold out or bought the seat outright. Only the right scandal can bring one down for a well-heeled or well-funded candidate to come in.
I got out of politics over 20 years ago. Even on a local basis there were red flags, for me, anyway. I was a policy person, or so I thought.
People think politics has to be changed at the presidential level. Please, you have to start with dog catcher and sewer guy. Better yet, start at the voters. If we demand better we’ll get better and some reformers (no party affiliation) will start shaking things up.
Oh, you big guys won’t like that. I kind of enjoy your pain, so will keep pressing you to keep our issues at the forefront because we are the voters. This is not about you getting box seats to the big game, it’s about us. It’s time to send Mr. Smith back to Washington. Check out the movie. Dee

Yes, I know the venerable Mr. Stewart is no longer with us, please permit poetic license. Dee
