As you know, political rulings and laws for the many decades have been formed and regulated by lobbyist, the political and economic elite. Lobbyist bribe political officials with money, gifts, and other goods to get these officials to regulate laws in favor of the companies the lobbyist represent.

"Yes We Can" is a phrase used to empower people to get politically involved and vote for Obama. Obama represents change. There are many aspects to this 'change' that he represents, but the most important in my opinion, is his stand not to accept incentives from lobbyist. By voting for Obama, you are supporting integrity in policy making. That is Change! And WE CAN support this CHANGE! YES WE CAN!

I hope this helps. I would like to hear your response. I probably won't get back to you until the 3 weeks from now because I've got EXAMs!

Oh, I've got to share this. This is Hillary Clinton for you.
The True Hillary Clinton

I can't believe she did this to the X-Men and Spiderman!

I think this would be a good thing aswell. Although to a certain extent, Lobbiests are there to help politics know what the people are thinking, it's obviously been abused by Capitol interest.

The problem is, I don't see any specifics. For instance, Mitt had this "clean up the strees, no porn/drugs" add and I was left wondering "And how are you going to do this?"

Quick question: How do you feel about the Patriot Act? The biggest single reason I won't vote for Obama is because he voted for the Patriot Act. It's terrible and restricts our freedom IMO also, the Fed Reserve, no one is addressing that issue like it's just nothing.

I am a HUGE Ron Paul supporter but I can't vote because I'm only 16. I was in a group called "Ron Paul Supporters" but I guess it was deleted. I'll start a new one right now.
