Vote for someone who actually cares

After listening to millions of dollars worth of attack ads from Bruce Braley, Joni Ernst, Jack Hatch and Terry Branstad, they have helped me to come to several conclusions. The first conclusion is the ads are all mostly accurate in their content. The second conclusion is that none of the four candidates are worthy to serve the hard working Americans who pay their wages.
It is time for voters to look outside the normal candidates to one who is not owned by outside interests or who are not looking to get richer at taxpayer expense. I am not endorsing any candidate because it really is time for Americans to take the time to actually research alternate options and quit letting the candidate with the most money or the cleverest attack ads get their vote.
Let 2014 be the time for voting Americans to stage a revolution by saying 'enough” of this madness and send someone to Washington or Des Moines who will actually care more about us than their personal fortunes or the fortunes of the people who put up the millions for their campaigns. Please vote and take this election seriously because whoever gets elected has your future in their hands. These candidates take it for granted that taxpayers will keep voting as usual and I think we are too smart for that. We should thank them for exposing the truths about each other.
