We Have Reached Critical Mass in D.C.

I believe that we have now reached critical mass in Washington, D.C. and throughout state/local politics.  Elected representatives are interested in re-election and the power that brings.  Decisions/legislation are crafted by politicians to ensure they remain in power rather than doing what is best for the country, state, or municipality they are serving.  An honest and ethical devoted citizens that wish to serve in a public office no longer stand a chance against the power brokers who are in it for themselves.  The system is broken.  Short of an uprising that would see to a total "cleaning house" of D.C. and other governmental bodies, we will continue down a road of power, greed, and eventual destruction of our way of life as we know it.
