Blagojevich Gets 14 Years in Prison

Rod Blagojevich received 14 years for trying to sell President Barack Obama's old Senate seat. The fact that he was trying to sell the seat shows that voting may mean nothing. Democracy in this country's greatest attribute. The power of the people to elect officials is a power that most countries never experienced. Voting is a fundamental right to anyone who is an American.
So for Blago to try and quietly sell that seat puts the whole democracy ideology into questioning. How many other Gov. officials have rigged or sold gov. seats for a profit or gain?

I believe if the founding fathers were here now, they probably would have charged Blago with Treason because he was trying to overthrow a fundamental part of our government. Corruption has to stop.

Do you think Blago's sentence was too harsh?
