Political Decisions are Being made by Advertisements

Every day, I get desperate emails asking for donations to buy advertisements. But not a single one explaining, in some depth - who they are, and what they are trying to accomplish.

They seem to feel (probably correctly) that the voter will not take the time to bother with getting to understand them.

I have a politician in my family, a member of the legislature in the State of Iowa, who was reelected recently,  but when I sent him an email, asking for news about him - he never replied.

And the rest of my family seemed to feel I was intruding on his privacy, to ask such a personal question. They felt he should be left to change his policies, to suit the circumstances.
