John Washington III Says a Corrupt System Decides Who Gets the Cameras, the Money and the Publicity (Washington Sentinel News)

John Washington III said the corrupt political system needs to be exposed, asking who decides who gets put in front of the cameras and who receives the money, the endorsements and the publicity. John Washington III is a presidential candidate for 2028.

"That's not democracy, that's gatekeeping," John Washington III wrote. He asked why independent voices get pushed out while their ideas get stolen, saying they will not stand behind those voices but will hand their ideas to chosen figures instead.

John Washington III called for change — peaceful, constitutional change — to build a new government that actually works for the people. He cited the Declaration of Independence, writing that when a government becomes destructive of the people's rights, the people can alter or abolish it, and he urged Americans to come together and build something that serves the people, not the powerful.
