Third parties key to giving people power

It's truly a shame how our politicians fend for the parties they are affiliated with while the country is in such turmoil.

The best thing we could do to the Democratic and the Republican parties to show them who's in charge is start electing third-party candidates.

With a third party it will prevent two-party partisan voting and will open up many more debates, and the voting will be based on the best interest of the country not the majority party's best interest.

Let's get rid of all these career politicians in Washington who sit by and watch this great country collapse and then come out of the woodwork trying to be our saviors.

We the people need to take back our country from these career politicians and put it back into the hands of the people.

If there was ever a time to push for term limits, the time is now, at every level of our government, local mayors to the Senate.

Once these people taste the power that they hold, it only encourages the kind of behavior we are witnessing in Washington.

It's time for new blood in Washington because the current leaders have failed the American people.

I for one will be voting for every third-party candidate on the ballot. They can't do any worse than the people running this country now.
