Board of Directors
Fred Markham is a systems engineer in Melbourne, FL, with 30 years experience developing defense electronics systems. His primary political interest is campaign finance reform: he believes that our system of privately financing election campaigns inevitably concedes control of government to private and corporate wealth, regardless of the best intentions of individual politicians. The system itself must be changed if we are to have a democracy that truly represent the best interests of the country’s citizens.
