Just 6 percent of voters now think Congress is doing a good or excellent job. This contrasts with the estimated 40 percent that were actively loyal to King George III during the American Revolutionary War.
If you are among the majority that think neither political party represents the American people, ask yourself what is the root cause for feeling unrepresented. If it is the state of campaign financing, then consider making campaign financing your second or first most important issue for 2014 and 2016.
