COIN-SOG Press Release

We like to think voting matters, but once in power, most politicians quickly learn that the two major Parties and their leadership control most of the public policies enacted. Those newly elected either decide to join the power structure, or they risk being ostracized, marginalized, and even losing their campaign funding. Without the campaign funds, they will not have the ability to advertise nor be able to be out on the campaign trail.

This is why year after year there are so many empty campaign promises made, but never fulfilled. So they end up blaming it on the opposition party, when in fact their campaign promises never had a chance of ever being enacted.

It's even gotten worse for the voters. In Florida, as an example, in 2018 the Sunshine Act was passed by the State legislature which would have allowed daylight saving time to stay in effect so that most 8 to 5 workers still had a little daylight when they get home after work. Apparently, it needs Congressional approval and it still hasn't been done. 1. Does Congress under States rights, even have to constitutional authority to restrict a State from adopting such a policy and 2. Why would it even matter to the Federal Government? It gets darker and lighter, at different times, in different States throughout the country. Bottom line, they are going to do what they want no matter who is in power or who you vote for.
