Man we are so F*cked up!

This is why we need to march/protest getting the money out of politics. From September 13th - November 4 (Election Day) we need to fight to get the money out of politics by instituting Publicly Funded Federal, State, and Local elections! We can require the TV and Radio stations to run the campaign ads as a public service for using the public airwaves under license. Shorten the campaign period and we should start having a return to Representative Democracy forth-with! Currently they only represent Donors such as these oil companies.

Bernie Sanders, Bill Moyers, Max Kaiser, Noam Chomsky, Cenk Ugar, and many more are starting to call for us to peacefully march/protest/fight to get the money out of politics. Why bother coming here to DU to gripe about the state of things if you are not willing to do something about it? You can spread the word on the internets, meet/talk to other groups fighting for various worthwhile causes that have been either caused or block because of the Big Donors controlling the show. What I am saying is please do what you can, thanks!
