“It is time to return power to the people and get big money out of politics.”

“The biggest problem in Congress is money.”
— Congressman Jim McGovern, Democrat, 2nd District of Massachusetts
“Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” – U.S. Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776
