NEWS AND VIEWS THAT IMPACT LIMITED CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT

If Only We Had Free Elections in America




American "Democracy" is Near Death 


American candidates of both parties no longer represent local voters. They are bought and paid for by Billionaire Cartels of open borders Wall Street interests.

Our elections are a sham.  Because of the
 massive size of districts only candidates who are millionaires or those funded by Billionaire Cartels have any chance of being elected.

And those wealthy special interests want to be paid back out of the US Treasury.
 
The U.S. is the only nation on earth where the same two corrupt parties "magically" win 100% of all elections.

Until our election system is reformed to allow for real competition and real voter choices, Americans are doomed to be ruled by a bought and paid for Elite.



This is what a FREE election looks like

I love that the corrupt open borders and authoritarian Conservative Party came in 5th place while a brand new party of patriot Nationalists comes in 1st winning 29 seats.

From Sargon of Akkad
UKIP Candidate for Parliament





A 19th Century Political Stump Speech
Unlike today, true democracy existed in 19th Century America.  Because the size of House districts was small the main expense a candidate had was to open a few kegs of beer, jump on the nearest tree stump and explain his positions to voters who may or may not have been sober.  It is the opinion of many that a candidate sounds better with every additional beer.
.
In the early Republic House districts had about 30,000 people.  Voters could easily meet their candidate without millions in corrupt special interest money being spent.


Reform Our Elections

"THE SECOND charge against the House of Representatives is, that it will be too small to possess a due knowledge of the interests of its constituents. . . . The House of Representatives as above explained it seems to give the fullest assurance, that a representative for every THIRTY THOUSAND INHABITANTS will render the latter both a safe and competent guardian of the interests which will be confided to it."
