People like me more. And I have other stuff to say besides the fringe political stuff.
Be less obsessed.
And don't post an entire work. People get bored easily.

I'm obsessed, I admit it. I have been since I learned the truth about the Federal Reserve and the IRS, in 1980. Both of those are private corporations, too.

I always thought you were a teenager. Please delete the racy PM I just sent you.

The super pac contributions are of concern to me as well.
It surprised me to learn a few months back that more than half of the funds raised by super pacs for this election are a product of just 24 extremely wealthy people (via their ability to make unlimited corporate contributions through the pac); mostly for the Republican candidates. Link to the February article:

Here's a link to a really useful site, if you're interested in details of the super pac contributions:
http://reporting.sunlightfoundation.com/...uper-pacs/
The site provides a list of the latest super pacs; you can click to see who they support, who they oppose and the amounts/types of expenditures contributed. You can even see the pac's FEC filings in PDF format with one easy click from the site too (but I don't go that deep). One of Romney's pacs spent more on efforts to oppose Santorum than to directly advocate for Romney in the last filing; I think it paid off.
