Dear Editor:
I am writing to inform your readers about a grassroots movement known as Wolf Pac. It is the goal of Wolf Pac to give the government back to the people of this great country.
According to a July 2012 Gallup Poll almost 90% of Americans are very concerned about corruption in Congress. What our organization has acknowledged is that Congress is no longer capable of honestly addressing this issue. We do not believe that they are bad people, only that they are stuck in a system that functions almost entirely on funding.
What can we as citizens of the Common Wealth of Virginia do? We can call and write our state representatives and ask them to support Wolf Pac’s call for a convention of the states to address the issue of corporate financing of our elections. Because of the January 21, 2010 Supreme Court decision for Citizens United, corporations can contribute to political campaigns without restriction. The result of this decision is that our representatives no longer represent us, the people, but rather the corporations that financed their campaigns. The only way to correct this and bring the power back to the people is through an amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Luckily for Americans, our founding fathers gave us a way to amend our Constitution that did not involve Congress, and that second option was our State Legislators through a convention of the states granted to us under Article V of the US Constitution.
Help us get money out of politics! Join the pac, Wolf Pac!
Sincerely,
Cindy Ingram
