US Position

Because government policy in the US has been purchased by lobbyists and campaign contributors. Banks and

the government has been rubbing elbows to the detriment of the citizenry since the inception of the country.

And it is the same today. Most politicians in the US are ex-Goldman Sachs Bankers.

Now allow every US Citizen and Resident access to Petition the US Government has never been stronger.


UK Position

Any British Citizen or UK Resident is free to look at the Petition information above and make their views

known by supporting or commenting on any Petition listed. Far more open and Democratic than the US.
