1% vs. 99%

"The subjects of every state ought to contribute towards the support of the government, as nearly as possible, in proportion to their repective abilities; that is, in proportion to the revenue which they respectively enjoy under the protection of the state." ~Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, 1776

Campaign Finance Reform is Progressive Issue # 1

No matter what causes are important to you – progressives will always be at a disadvantage, unless and until, campaign financing is completely reformed to reflect the principle of 'one person, one vote.'

We hold these truths to be self-evident:

1. Corporations are not people.

2. Money is not speech.

3. People are more important than property.

4. The right of assembly includes the right to unionize.

5. Corporatism is not capitalism.

6. Transparency is good.

7. Current campaign laws are anti-democratic.

Are We All Blind?

Keeping the American Dream Alive

The fight against corporatism is more than the Occupy Movement. It's more than rich vs. poor, it is more than boycotting Koch products. It comes down to personal freedom -- the freedom to live our lives and achieve our goals without interference from the powers that be who are now controlling the debate, the rules, the wealth and the boundaries of our lives.
