"There is a corruption at the heart of American politics, caused by the dependence of Congressional candidates on funding from the tiniest percentage of citizens. That's the argument at the core of this blistering talk by legal scholar Lawrence Lessig. With rapid-fire visuals, he shows how the funding process weakens the Republic in the most fundamental way, and issues a rallying bipartisan cry that will resonate with many in the U.S. and beyond."
I hope we can pull and discuss ideas from here to build our plan, Not to mention we share the same goals and should support each other.
We need to tap into the heart of all reform parties and find real solutions to these problems.
It is possible for us to form a coordinated grass roots movement and enlist the support we need as we prove ourselves. We need to prove ourselves by simply getting to the point where we have the best plan, and keep improving it. At some point people will want to respond to it. "If you build it, they will come!"
What can we learn from groups and ideas like this?
