According to Adam Gabbatt in New York, reporting for The Guardian,
"The Federal Election Commission says that our 2012 United States' campaigns (presidential and congressional) have cost more than $4,000,000,000 ($4bn) after tracking donations over the first 18 months cycle."

 Is it possible for anyone working within the confines of  a mega-sized corporate institution, which supports either democrat or republican candidates, to feel as if they are not supporting organized crime and narrow minded public relations mimickers ?

And if one were to think otherwise, it would strongly suggest that "thinking" is, in fact, the lowest form of intelligence to be found on the Planet Earth, so take action to rid politics of unlimited "what-a-waste" spending now by boycotting the premise that only a democrat or republican deserves to serve (or at least until they actually begin serving the people before coddling their corporate donor posse).

How Green Party Presidential Candidate Jill Stein Differs From the Two Major Parties

As the Presidential election looms just six weeks away, the two major party candidates continue to campaign fiercely in swing states. Republican Mitt Romney, speaking in Ohio yesterday, attempted to counter the damage to his campaign from leaked remarks that dismissed 47% of Americans as “victims,” who didn’t pay taxes and were dependent on the government. He said, “My heart aches for the people I’ve seen,” who are unemployed.
Just in the past few weeks, incumbent President Barack Obama has opened a significant lead over Romney in several swing states including Ohio, where new polls by Quinnipiac and the New York Times have given him a ten point lead over Romney. Multiple blunders by Romney on domestic and foreign policy are being attributed to Obama’s surge, implying that Obama’s popularity is less linked to his own successes, and more a result of Romney’s failures.
It’s a familiar conversation every four years: voting for President often comes down to picking the lesser of two evils. Unlike in many other countries, only two major parties dominate the American political landscape. But a growing movement behind one of the few so-called Third Parties, is the Green Party. Famous for its high-profile presidential candidate Ralph Nader in 1996 and 2000, this year the Green Party nomination was won by Dr. Jill Stein, a physician from Massachusetts who has been making waves around the country on her campaign tour.
Jill Stein is considered an environmental health pioneer, known for her widely cited reports, In Harm’s Way: Toxic Threats to Child Development, published in 2000, and Environmental Threats to Healthy Aging published in 2009. She works closely with parents, teachers, community groups and others, advising them on a variety of health and environmental issues. In Massachusetts, she was involved in a successful campaign to clean up coal plants and has been involved with the group, Physicians for Social Responsibility. She is also the co-founder of Massachusetts Coalition for Healthy Communities.
Jill Stein’s running mate is Sheri Honkala, a well known housing rights and anti-poverty activist.
