We each have issues that we find to be critical to the future well being of our country and society. The national debt of trillions of dollars is incredibly overwhelming and threatens our future solvency. Our immigration system is broken and needs to change as we witness children and families pouring across our border with no plan of how to receive them. There are over $1 trillion in student loans in a growing bubble that is a bound to burst. Public education has lost its competitive edge internationally as we become more and more average. Our prison system dwarfs those of any other country in the world including China, Russia, Iraq and Iran and our war on drugs has been a very expensive decades long lost war. Climate change threatens the entire living world yet many deny it is even happening despite the clear science.
No matter what issue you are passionate about chances are you have little to no confidence that our leaders in DC will do something about it. Obama, the Supreme Court and particularly Congress have abysmal approval ratings. The corruption and cronyism of our capital must end or nothing will change. In 2012 the winning Senators averaged $14k per day for the entire year in fundraising to get elected! On September 8th the Senate will vote on SJ Res 19 to overturn Citizens United (which opened the floodgates for corporate money) we must demand of our leaders that this needs to happen to send a mandate of reform.
