Americans For Fair Elections

Americans For Fair Elections Who is it now that pays the way, Of politicians gone astray, And who now will pave the way, For that which they were paid, We are Americans who stand true and proud, Witnessing incredible devastations, So we shout our mantra strong and proud, We are 'Americans For Fair Elections'! One contribution from those who vote you in, Is all a candidate should be able to get. To fund a political race to represent, America for the people within their District, People who no longer have a voice, People now easily disregarded, Who now find they have less of a choice, Than when this democracy started, No more party or government matching fund, No special interest groups or big business, All lobbying our district reps one by one, And deciding who will lead our districts These contributions have stolen our choices, And all that we Americans hold most sacred, These powers have now stolen our voices, And our democracy now sits degraded, We 'Americans For True Representation', Now must take action and take back the reins, We 'Americans For Fair Elections' Must now rid ourselves of these stains, And with the help of our fellow Americans, We shall return the power to the people, With every one of us taking a stance, For together we are indeed powerful, Through calls, letters, and petitions, Once again we will make our voices heard, Offering no retreat and no concessions, We remain staunch and true to our word, So be warned you who stand in our way, For we will remember those with questions, And those who will stand with us this day, As 'Americans For Fair Elections' Please visit 'Americans For Fair Elections' dot com, And help us to pass the word of this movement on, Or forward this poem penned by My Gull Wheels On, a.k.a. Michael Wilson, Your fellow American!
