We the Special Interest Groups...

The only thing I have to say is everyone should read the following links. The first link is an article that appeared in Scene Magazine. The second is a link to Ohio Secretary of State's searchable database. You can search a contributor's name or a representative's name or both! The last link is a fun site I found a long time ago that helps people understand where the money is coming from and how it influences your representatives votes. Government really has become "By the Special Interest Money, Of the Special Interest Money, and For the Special Interest Money."

"Education at It's Worst"

Searchable database of Ohio campaign contributions.

When the citizenry gives up it's right to control anything, whether it is to an entrprneur like David Brenane or a wrong-headed cabal like some of our School Boards, we get what we deserve.

Being single, I only loose out on a few property tax dollars folks. Thank gawd I've no children to be affected!
