Most of this money is not from the district he represents.

You can easily research where the money is coming from and how the system works.

Read the book: Nation on the Take, How Big Money Corrupts our Democracy This book was just published in March of 2016 and shows you in detail how the influence of money on politics is growing at an exponential rate.

What will a politician do to get elected? How much will it take? Where will the money come from? How much time will it take to raise millions? Why will the corporations give millions?

This district is supposed to represent 10 counties in the Sierra Nevada foothills.

Alpine, Amador, Calaveras, El Dorado, Mariposa, Tuolumne, Fresno, Madera, Nevada and Placer counties.

Someone who lives in the district should represent the district. Strange how our laws let someone that lives outside the counties in the district "represent" the counties in the district.

Your particular congressman is not being mentioned by name on this page. This is not a problem with an individual congressman. This is a systemic failure of the political system that would have our founding fathers rolling over in their graves. Around the world America is viewed as a plutocracy, which means governed by the extremely wealthy (not millionaires, billionaires). Let's show them that this is not the case.

This campaign is not about an individual or a political party, it is about a way to change the system from one that is ruled by the lobbyists, corporations and individuals that pay for our politicians to a system envisioned by our founding fathers.

Think of this... If you were a politician begging for money, how would you feel?
