This is not just a national problem, look at what happened last night in the great state of Iowa.

Here's an honest question: How do we break out of the cycle of electing the lessor of two evils? How do we break out of the cycle of Republican vs Democrat when the truth is both parties have left the will of the people for political gain. I worked on a political campaign in Iowa in 2007-2008 that had an awesome grassroots turn out only to see this campaign die when the media got a hold of it. We break this cycle by turning off the T.V. and recruiting politicians that mean what they say and say what they mean at the LOCAL level. The local government was always supposed to have the most power.
