(10,502 posts)If we could get everyone that is upset about some issue that will not be solved as long as corporate money buys our politicians, education, climate change, Wall Street reform, etc., to focus on this one issue we could get the money out and then be able to have Representative Democracy again.
I believe that Publicly Funded Elections (PFE's) are the best way to approach this. We would have to shut down the revolving door as well. Once we have politicians that do not have to rely on the Oligarchs to get and stay in office they will be free to bust up the big banks and media conglomerates.
None of this will be easy and will take very large numbers of committed people focused solely on PFE's in order to have a chance at success!
Thanks for cutting through the crap!
