So is the US so corrupt and people so unethical
that out of tens of millions of individuals
finding ethical people is a challenge?

There are a few ethical people in congress
but they are the minority.

Funding Acorn 2?
Is that what Populists need, another institution?
Why can't individuals organize, and do what
is necessary to change this situation?

People organize community yard sales, BBQs,
community gardens, but need another Acorn to help themselves?
People have time for little league, scouting, going dancing
watching sports, etc but no time to elect people who can make
a difference in their families lives?

It's puzzling?
