A concise and fact filled book with references that details the way Corporate America has co-opted our democratic system through campaign financing, lobbyists and money. The author not only shows who and how but offers ways to fix the system and return America to its democratic roots.

Jack Lohman shines a brilliant spotlight on the corruption and greed that has permeated our democracy, and exposes how corporate money influences the decisions of our elected officials in government. It's no secret that most of our politicians are under the control of corporate interests, and you'll find many well-documented examples on key issues exposed in this book. Only true campaign finance reform can save our political system from the corruption, which has infiltrated every aspect of our government. Mr. Lohman goes on to show how for only 15 taxpayer dollars per year, we could fully fund the election process. Also, by enacting a more fairly balanced election system such as IRV (Instant Runoff Voting), we could elect more majority-chosen candidates.

If you care about this nation, whether you're a politician, a soldier, a concerned citizen, or even a Rush Limbaugh sycophant, I urge you to read this book. The system is broken and it needs to be fixed. Too many jobs lost to oversea manufacturers, too many foreclosures on middle class homes, and too many neglected cities, in this cycle of corporate welfare generated by campaign contributions.

It's time to take our country back, and Mr. Lohman shows us a good number of ways we can do it.

Politicians - Owned and Operated by Corporate America is aptly titled. An honest book. The most refreshing thing that sets this book apart is the common sense solutions Jack Lohman offers. Obviously written from the viewpoint of a true patriot with insider knowledge. Covering a vast array of topics this is a handy reference on how to restore our government to the people. If you are reading this review you too must be concerned for the future of our country. I highly recommend this book. If it were a speaking engagement, the fee for one chapter would be a bundle and worth every penny.
