Special Interest Groups Run Our
State and Federal Governments
by James Boyd

I have heard citizens and some
politicians lament the fact that Special
Interest groups
run our State and Federal governments. I
believe our elected officials should be
accountable and attentive to only one
Special Interest group, the voters.
Our elected officials are chosen to serve the people not the Insurance lobbyists, not the Energy lobbyists, not the Oil Industry lobbyists, and certainly not Political Action
Committees who represent the few and not
the many.
Some elected officials are so consumed
with staying in power that they have
forgotten
why they were elected; to serve the
people. They are crippled by the fear
that they may lose favor with some
special interest group and lose their
support in the next election.
And they have! The Voters! Vote this November for candidates who have shown that they will serve the people!
Vote this November for candidates who
don't shirk their responsibility to the
people by
submitting to political pressure in
decision making!
Vote this November for Candidates who
answer to only one Special Interest
group - The Voters!
Shane Sklar and Nick Lampson are these candidates!!
