Which Convention Speaker Mentioned Government Corruption? Who? Who?

[Yallow]

The fact that our nation's number one problem isn't being addressed by "my party" makes me sick to my stomach.

The fact that our entire government is pay to play, and the power and $$ of the wealthy is what drives all major legislation has not been mentioned once from what I have seen. If it was mentioned CNN or MSNBC would never show it because they are on the take too.

I am supposed to suck it up and support people that care more about campaign cash than my family, again, and again, and again.

There are a lot of people who are saying no.

Simply no.

Why do you all think so many MILLION PEOPLE support Trump. It is more than his appeal to racists. Ask my Trump supporting friends. He is talking about doing something about corruption. Of course he won't, but all his minions know our government IS corrupt, and at least he is saying he will fix it.

The only candidate we have that mentioned it (corruption) can't be named.....

I for one am sick of government corruption.

Rec if you are too.

1. I guess you have NO understanding what citizen's united is...and the fact that ending it

was mentioned countless times

do you want me to give you a google link???

2. Citizen's United Is Only 10% Of The Problem

What about the other 90%?

Our government worked for the 1% long before that decision was shove up our......

5. You said it, now tell us what is more pressing.

11. Getting Anti Corruption Trump Supporters To Vote For Democrats

Think about it.

[JudyM]

14. That would be great.

So what are we offering them? Clinton said she was going to work to overturn Citizens United but it could be just talk... Unless she comes up with something more concrete.

[beachbum bob]

6. lol...its the sole mechanism for the 1% to purchase govt....

without batting an eye...and it was mentioned several times by several speakers

utopia does not exist in the real world....but we can reign in some of the power of money = access

[JudyM]

15. What would be more direct would be actually having conflict of interest rules with real teeth

for congress-critters. Which has about a snowballs chance in hell of passing, even though it absolutely *should.*

3. I heard many speakers talk about the need to overrule Citizens United.

That case is the biggest obstacle to campaign finance reform. That is why it is important who is picking Supreme Court justices.

Vote for Clinton.

4. Evidently, you aren't seeing the big picture.

This cycle will require a tremendous amount of cash - that is the only way this country can ever start down the path to removing so much cash from elections. Got to have a Democratic President and at least a Democratic majority in the Senate to get things moving towards campaign finance reform. To accomplish that, it will require tons of cash this cycle. Bigger picture provides a clearer picture.

7. Corruption Inc ..

is open 24/7/365. Not just during election season.

8. The Big Picture Is Crushing My Family

I am supposed to work harder for less so the fruits of my labor can be stuck in the Cayman Islands untaxed.

Which speaker mentioned the Panama Papers?

(crickets chirping)

Half the people who can vote, don't.

I believe voting makes a difference, but not that much of a difference.

They (we) shut down the House for gun legislation, but won't do anything about the far larger problem.

Sorry.

I won't surrender to the Kochs, and Soros of this world.

At least not quietly.

9. what government corruption ?

10. This......

But who is he.

There is one Democrat that won't be speaking.

Ever ask yourself why?

[Maru Kitteh]

13. He already did speak. He endorsed Hillary and encouraged all to vote for her.

Ask yourself why.

12. Stop fighting the goddamned primary! The only candidate we have is HRC.

Take a hint from Bernie. He's demonstrated the maturity and intelligence to move forward with the only tenable course of action that can see his dreams remain in the fore.
