That is the average amount spend on races for the House of Representatives. Senate races can cost millions of dollars more. That amounts to raising one thousand dollars a day for the two years they are elected. That requires too much time on their part, and opens the doors for all kinds of unscrupulous practices. I cannot help but wonder what planet they are from.
Government policies affect every American citizen.
These policies involve billions and billions of dollars of public money. Government policies, when subverted by the influence of big money, represent a grievous violation of public trust. Partisan politics are making fools out of both political parties. It is also alienating more and more Americans who just might be ready for a political party which places America first. There may be those who will say I am simply naive and do not understand the political process and the necessity of partisan politics.
