U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders in a foreword to the book Dollarocracy wrote that, “we cannot govern our own affairs when our national, state, and local debates are bought and sold by billionaires, who use thirty-second commercials to shout down anyone who disagrees…

This is an unsupported assertion. All that follows is nonsensical.

Thanks to our God-inspired Constitution the United States of America became the most powerful country on Earth. The USA has drifted away from God and from defending our Constitution. Progress has been in the wrong direction since Carter took office.

We now have rampant corruption and chaos that is not even recognized as such. Some leader has to connect the dots and take corrective action. This will not be easy given the warped, twisted, and self centered thinking of too many of today's voters, IMO.

The pool of low information voters is increasing.

The American people are thoroughly represented up and down and sideways across DC in congress and the presidency.
Yet we are on the cusp of a police state. How can that be?

It doesn't make sense until one realizes our governing institutions no longer serve their designed purposes. Does congress actually legislate or does it enable the executive to make arbitrary regs/law? Does it conduct oversight of the agencies it created? Does congress serve to secure our inalienable rights? Does congress or Obama determine spending? The senate has voted to give Obama the treaty power.

Institutions designed for free government have been corrupted into forms that do the opposite; they serve to enable and condone tyranny.

Article V to reform our institutions before we can't.
