I'm in a bad place.

20. I feel the same way, but I will not go down without a fight!

Bill Moyers had Jim Hightower (longtime Texas legislator) on his show awhile back and they discussed what it would take to get the money out of politics and publicly funded elections (PFEs). Hightower said it will take people protesting on the streets that are prepared for police assaulting them. I agree, it cannot be done without violence on their part and will take many more people fed up with what is going on to hit the streets. Our empire is failing and to have any chance of getting back on track in time to properly address Climate Change is slim. Our biggest hurdle is the media and its complicity in keeping the public distracted and misinformed. One of the first things that would need to be done if we could accomplish PFE's is to bust up the media and banking Oligarchies!

I spread the message of Publicly Funded Elections in almost every post because this is the only thing that attacks the Root Problem, corruption of our politicians with the need for ever increasing amounts of campaign money! We all need to be spreading this message and educating anyone who will listen. It shouldn't be hard to understand that campaign money is a bribe and a threat. If the politician doesn't do what the Lobbyist demand for the contribution, they will run someone who will do their bidding. Our Representative Democracy has already been lost.

It is imperative that we get Bernie Sanders to run as he is the only politician advocating PFE's. If we could recruit Elizebeth Warren to run with him we may have a chance!
