I am a WM attorney who has seen first hand how huge multi-national corporations control our media and politicians through advertising dollars and campaign donations. While we fight the latest battles, which are mere symptoms of the root problem, they laugh all the way to the bank.

If we really want things better we must all recognize and fight, to the exclusion of all other issues, campaign finance and media propaganda. We must break their hold on the media by requiring truth, and their ownership of our politicians by ending donations, Super PACs, Dark Money, and the revolving door.

Unless and until we all join together to achieve this we will fail.
