I just finished a very depressing but very necessary book, The Buying of Congress: How Special Interests Have Stolen Your Right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, by Charles Lewis.
It's really sad to think that this book was written in the 1990s, BEFORE the floodgates of cash were opened by the Supreme Court's ridiculous decision that limits on political contributions abridged corporation's free speech rights.
I'm trying to figure out how to write a book on the Congress for children. I want it to be accurate and and yet clear about the fact that we are far away from the Founders' vision.
