Yesterday in a speech in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton committed to making money in politics reform a top priority from the beginning of her time in office if elected president. Clinton said that “it is past time to end the stranglehold of wealthy special interests in Washington and get back to government of the people, by the people, and for the people” and promised that “as president, from my very first days, I will make campaign finance reform a top priority.” See clip from speech at http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4610358/hillary-clinton-speaks-money-politics-new-hampshire
Why do we have to wait until next year? Why do we have to rely on promises from "crooked Hillary"?
In the very first debate, you said the system is broken.
You have been saying that many times, in many ways, ever since.
Our country does not have to wait to fix Congress and it does not have to rely on promises from "crooked Hillary".
Here's how: You make it part of your campaign that the American voters should demand that the current Congress take up debate of its corruption and act (or not act) before November 8th, so that the 2016 Congressional elections can be a nationwide referendum on our incumbent Congress regarding this issue.
If you are elected President, I believe your goal of making America great again can be more quickly accomplished if Congress has faced up to its corruption before you take office.
Your supporters should create tweeting banks in their Congressional districts to advance this as part of your campaign. For a template for this, see Trump tweeting bank template.
Please also see this previous letter Dear Mr. Trump.
Thank you.
Update 7/24/16: If you think Donald Trump should demand that the current Congress face up to and act on its corruption before Nov. 8th, please send him a tweet by clicking on the below link. The tweet you send will have a link to this blog entry (Mr. Trump, why do we have to wait?). Also your tweet will contain, and show up under, the Twitter hashtag #DeclareForDemocracy.
Please be serious. Do you honestly believe that Donald Trump will commit to campaign finance reform? How can you trust someone who has to walk back almost everything he says. He is in no way qualified to be POTUS. GOD help us if he gets elected.
ReplyDeleteWill you help focus on Congress by starting a tweeting bank in your Congressional district? http://2016candidatesdeclarations.blogspot.com/2016/02/template-for-congressional-districts.html
