This country is run by two parties who bicker endlessly about who is worse. There is a good reason for this fighting...it's hard to tell! And most of us are stuck in the middle of this, knowing that there isn't any good choice. No wonder most Americans don't even bother to vote at all. They know these people don't represent them. But before you skip voting one more time, you might want to take a look at some of these. Fairvote.org A website from the Center for Voting & Democracy Why do we feel so trapped between these two horrible political parties?

Along with getting the money out of politics, it could be a crucial first step.
