Make fMRI brain scans a mandatory part of the background check for political candidates and policymakers.

I shockingly discovered that I was married to a psychopath. It doesn't mean he's violent. It means he has no conscience, nor empathy, but he fakes it better than normal people show true feelings. Psychopathy means he has no love, no loyalty, no decency. Betrayal on a whim. No remorse. Totally self-serving. Wears the disguise of the sweetest guy on earth and no one knows the darkness of his heart.

Psychopaths are estimated to be 4 percent of population. This means that there are 12 million psychopaths in the United States. Psychopaths like to control and manipulate (covertly), and are drawn to positions of power. Psychopaths in government are responsible for the policies that allow corporations to wreak havoc on society, as well as the laws that blatantly disregard the Constitution.

Classifying someone as a "psychopath" is not meant to be an insult. Psychopathy is a neurological condition (lack of conscience). Psychopaths have full intellectual faculties and have no break with reality. (Movies, TV, and mass media give people the wrong idea that psychopaths can be spotted because they're obviously deranged. Psychopaths are not psychotic.) They are false friends, pathological liars, and clever con artists who take advantage of the fact that we are not taught to identify them among us.

"We would not allow a color-blind person to safely work, for example, as an air-traffic controller... society shouldn't let a clinically-diagnosed psychopath be in a position of power (..don't give the pyromaniac the matches or put a pedophile in charge of the day-care center)." -Jose Gude

Psychopathic lawmakers are contrary and self-serving.

Their focus on power and greed takes precedence over the well-being of the people. They are secretive, deceitful, and corrupt beyond what most people are capable. (An example of corruption of the Congress - blatant contradiction between wording of the H.R. 30: Save American Workers Act of 2015 and its intent: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/114/hr30  Passed 252/172)

A society in the hands of psychopaths brings misery to the citizens and harm to the environment.

 Psychopathic Society / Police State criminalizes everything good (feeding the homeless), and legalizes everything bad (Citizens United). This document also serves to to increase global psychopathy awareness - in order to recognize, and vote out of government, the politicians who have no conscience. #TortureReport #OCCUPY #GetMoneyOut

Psychopaths are impaired neurologically, and (like drug users) are not fit for positions of leadership. fMRI neuroscience testing needs to be implemented. Let's get all disordered people out of government.

Dear Mr. President,

Please use your power to make fMRI brain scans a mandatory part of the background check for political candidates. Psychopathic lawmakers are self-serving, and their focus on power and greed takes precedence over the well-being of the people. A society in the hands of psychopaths brings misery to the citizens and harm to the environment.

If you are unable to make this mandatory, then I respectfully request that you help advocate psychopathy awareness by presenting the research publicly. Thank you.

Highest regards,

Tina Taylor
