I want to encourage all my friends here on LJ to visit the
Get Money Out website and learn about the proposed constitutional amendment to take money out of politics. Not only does the ban prohibit contributions by any individual or corporation to anyone running for federal office, it stipulates that campaign contributions to candidates for Federal office shall not constitute speech of any kind as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution or any amendment to the U.S.Constitution. It also proposes to make election day a federal holiday.
Unfortunately, we have the best government money can buy right now. But it doesn't work for the 99% of us who make up the vast majority. Please take a look at this website and sign this petition.
