We are responsible for our future. Too many US citizens try to escape that. The payment into special interest groups is one example. It is not a way to become involved. It is a cop-out. Lobbyists are political parasites. Paying the NRA instead of voting for pro-gun laws is a sign of laziness. We are weakened by well-paid lobbyists. Our government system is at risk. Voting is a privilege easily removed. We must NOT lose our vote.
