While the level of corruption on government in the United States may not be anywhere near that of Russia, there is still a good amount of completely legal, in most cases, buying and selling of politicians there as well. However there is another stark contrast. While Russia may try to outwardly show it is a Democracy, the world and it's people know that this is a farce. In the United States we do in fact have a democracy, however it is not enough.
What the United States needs is a change, and not in the anonymous way. You, the public, need a voice. You need to be able to have a say in what your representative says and does. If you disagree with something that is up for debate in the House or Senate, you should be able to directly influence the vote. This is where the GovTogether idea comes into play. Our goal is to give you, the average American, more of a say in the legislative process.
If you think this sounds like a good idea or even if you don't, come over to www.GovTogether.com to learn more and to let us know what you think by voting.
