4. K&R! Be prepared, this will be what they do for all future protests! If people would ever get behind

COMPLETE CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM (CCFR) you would see them go completely nuts with spies due to the fact that CCFR is an attack at the corporation's and the 1%'s control over the political process of this country! They OWN most of our politicians in Washington due to our system of legalized bribery of campaign contributions and Citizens United. This is a battle I would dearly love to see. It is also the only way we would have an opportunity to address Climate Change in time, if it is not already too late!
But alas, we are too myopic and caught up in the trees (guns, gays, Travon Martin & GMO's to name a few) and cannot see the Forest. These issues are symptoms of the corruption and will not change significantly without addressing the root cause which is, Democrats and Republicans alike are controlled by the super rich who distract us with the constant fake battle over very important issues. I would think that we at DU could recognize this and begin a movement to DEMAND CCFR, but I have been saying this for over a year and while I generally get several Posters who are in agreement, I do not see any help spreading the message and starting the fight. I must not be any good at getting this message out, or motivating people to help spread the word. Also, too many of us treat politics like a sports team and root for their "side" while overlooking the problems with their team! They fall for the media's strategy of displacing our anger at the root cause and shunting it onto the nasty Republicons. I hope someone comes along that has such a force of personality (Elizabeth Warren might be the one) they could ignite the protest and keep it focused to help root out the money in our politics. There will always be corruption, but it should be the exception, not the norm!
