According to Conservative Boston radio talk show host, Michael Graham, I'm what's known as a EuroWeenie.
That's what he calls anyone from Europe who doesn't touch the forelock in deference to the almighty U S of A.
So, I guess I'm a EuroWeenie then, and proud of it.

It is infuriating that a few hundred people who own the majority of wealth in the country have a bigger voice than the hundreds of millions who have to suffer under their self-interest. Getting rid of corporate donations, making any lobbying other than direct citizen lobbying illegal, and limiting individual contributions to a thousand dollars would go a long way towards having a representative democracy that represents the people instead of the chosen few.
Nicely put...
Lobbying is a vital part of our democracy. In America, everybody has the right to petition the governmnet for his/her demands and priorities, and that direct connection from the people to the government is what makes our nation great.
Yes, it is what gives corporations more rights than people.
