What Reform?

Look at the numbers cited below. The political parties are are spending obscene amounts of money in their efforts to rule the country. This money is coming from a concentrated group of wealthy individuals (George Soro's for one) who seek to purchase the power to dictate our lives and keep us out of their world.

The parties contribute to this problem by selling influence based on the promise of legislating perks for these big money donors.

The whole notion of a government of, for and by the people has been replaced by a government of the elite. Take a look at the average net worth of a US senator if you don't believe me. McCain-Feingold has effectively taken away the opportunity for an average American to participate in what was once a representative government.

This has got to stop soon, or we will forever be preyed upon by a ruling class that will destroy our lives each time they decide to legislate their latest whim. It will make the 70's look like a boom time.

GOP Fund-raising Outpaces Democrats
Republicans trying to hold onto the House raised $12.5 million in July, outpacing Democrats by a 3-to-1 margin but leaving the GOP just $1 million ahead in cash on hand.
The influx of money - largely from political action committees - gives Republicans a slight advantage more than two months before the November elections. Democrats hope to gain 15 seats to seize control of the House.
The NRCC has raised $70 million so far and has $34.1 million in the bank. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee raised $4.2 million in July, taking the group's total to $81 million this cycle and $33 million cash on hand.
"Our phenomenal fundraising in July is the product of our members' hard work and the support of Americans who want leaders with a record of accomplishment and a positive vision moving forward," Rep. Tom Reynolds, R-N.Y., chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said in a statement. "It stands in sharp contrast to the Democrats, who spent the month of July raising dollars by exploiting the deaths of U.S. soldiers."

Democrats lagged behind Republicans by $6.4 million in July 2004, a gap it has narrowed to about $1 million this cycle. Most of the GOP's income - $9 million of the $12.5 million - came from political action committees.
"Americans demand change from the Republican status quo in Washington and they're speaking with their pocket books, in record numbers," said Bill Burton, a DCCC spokesman.
In the Senate, the Democrats' campaign organization enjoys a $14.5 million advantage in cash on hand. The party needs to gain six seats to win majority control.
"The upshot is that we have the financial resources we are going need," said Phil Singer, a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman. "We can get our message out to voters."

The DSCC raised $4.2 million during July, outpacing its GOP counterpart's $3.3 million. It also raised $77.2 million so far this cycle and has $35.1 million in the bank.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee has raised $65.9 million this cycle and has $20.6 million on hand.
The National Republican Senatorial Campaign, meanwhile, said the national effort is only part of the midterm spending.
"As of the end of the quarter, our incumbents they're targeting had a $24 million cash advantage," said committee spokesman Brian Nick. "We're right where we need to be."

Note: while the article keeps citing the source of Republican money, it fails to mention that the Democrats are being funded by a small group of wealthy, white communists; the subject of an upcoming Blog.
