Hillary Clinton's "Plan" to Reform Campaign Finance is Grossly Inadequate

[pantsonfire]

But, that’s about where it stops. Such is why Hillary Clinton’s supporters are placated by the front-runner’s plan to reform campaign finance. Here are the three basic elements of her proposal:

1) Increasing voter access.
2) Increasing transparency by requiring corporations to disclose their political donations by way of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
3) A pledge that overturning Citizens United is her litmus test for SCOTUS nominees, and fighting for a constitutional amendment to overturn the decision “if necessary.”

While these might sound great, they amount to very little in terms of reform — and I will explain why....(click link below for the why). Hillary Clinton has not made campaign finance reform a priority of her presidential campaign. When asked what she would tackle in her first hundred days in office, the former Secretary did not even mention it.

It is also understandable that Clinton isn’t even talking about publicly-financed elections considering that 83 percent of her direct campaign funds come from large donors.

1. And it does not even take into account the deal she and DWS

made with the 33 states parties to launder money from the rich through the DNC and buy the super-delegates. I wonder if anyone has figured out which states agreed to this deal?

3. This info needs to be sent everywhere

Especially in that states where the Super delegate was bought. Voters need to know which politicians where bought and paid for with these bribes. It's disgusting and these cockroaches need to be exposed for the cowards and traitors they are

4. I agree. That is why I continue to mention it where it is

appropriate.

As a delegate in my state that voted for Bernie I am furious that anything I and my fellow delegates do has already been overridden by the state officials by giving money to only one candidate who did not win the state and who sold our super-delegates right along with the deal.

Talk about taking way the right to vote. What good is a vote that cannot change anything even if it wins.

5. Yet, he won Wisconsin despite them topping the list....

I posted about it awhile back, or someone else did, why don't you post it again?

7. Funny... Search As Much As You Might The 17 States Taht Refused To Go Along W/ "Super Delegate

"Arrangement" to fall in line with Hillary... You cannot find any details about them or their position statements...

8. Well I would guess that now no one wants to talk about it.

The meeting was held in Minneapolis - the article was about MT. I wish someone would sue for release of info from that meeting. But then I don't even know if they can be sued.

6. And it just keeps coming

More and more corruption while they cry about tax returns. One would think even the folks that run this site would be disgusted with how Hillary Coattails runs her show. But they ALL support her. And they still call themselves Democrats.
