Lobbyists and corporations have more control than our Congress does over what happens in this nation. I have been told that judges approved the power given to lobbyists to influence legislators and Congress. This transaction happened a number of years ago and the people had no opportunity to oppose the procedure. I have always felt judges were fair-minded, but lobbyists and big money are destroying the power of democracy. The present conditions should be appealed to allow democracy to work for all people. I am sure these stipulations were created by capitalism and not socialism.
The conditions created by FDR have been destroyed. He was a wealthy man, but had principles to protect the average person. FDR followed the words of Samuel Gompers: “Workingmen are at the foundation of society. Show me that product of human endeavor in the making of which the workingman has had no share, and I will show you something that society can dispense with.”
Large corporations should not control our government. Our nation should be controlled by our representatives and Congress, not lobbyists and big money.
