where are those right wing, "the founding fathers meant"...?
America is experiencing a rare and dramatic moment of grassroots advocacy for fundamental reform of our elections.Unfortunately, the political and media elites that define our discourse are doing their best to ignore it.So it remains in America as it has ever been; Thomas Jefferson was indeed right when he suggested to George Mason that: “More attention should be paid to the general opinion.”
And the general opinion is that the money power, which has come to dominate our politics, must be checked and balanced.
cherry picking what rights and amendments you honor and dismiss is half cocked governing, you don't get to pick and chose what you will honor they took an oath for the whole ball of wax, not just what works for them and the rich that was backwards, the rich and then them if the rich say it's ok.
The Los Angeles Times, arguably the dominant media outlet in the community, actively opposed the measure, “Proposition C,” with editorials and signed opinion pieces ripping it as “a primal scream about the role of money in politics.”The voters decided to scream. As loudly as they could.Seventy-seven percent of them voted “yes”; just 23 percent voted “no.”That’s a reasonably typical result—similar to the levels of support seen in Colorado and Montana when the those states weighed in on the issue last fall.
this should be a wake up call, it can be beaten we saw it in 2008 and again 2012, we can do this quadruple threat 2014 and 2016, just remember and believe "YES WE CAN".
