Excellent letter, Priscilla. The problem is that things will not change, the current system is rigged to allow only the bought and sold candidates to run for election. Until voters decide to vote issues instead of party lines, and viable candidates find independent financial backing to run things will not change. I am registered as no party affiliation, because it isn't a party that counts it is the issues that we should be concerned about. We have a representative republic not a democracy, we need to have people in office that represent what the public wants, not the special interests. The one party system currently in place in Manatee County assures the special interests of remaining in power, until there is an alternative candidate choice things will not change.
