43. After re-reading my post I see I did a bad job of trying to make the point I was trying to make.

What I meant to ask was, "Have WE, meaning us Progressives/Liberals/Democrats had enough of this crap to start a movement similar to OWS, with the express purpose of getting the money out of our political system?"
I don't pretend it would be easy because it would not be, but it is doable! I am encouraged by what our side has done in Vermont and California with the Article V Constitutional Amendment, but disappointed that they seem to stop at overturning Citizen United and "money is not speech." Half measure will allow the Plutocrats to keep control, just make it a little harder. We need Publicly Funded Elections and COMPLETE Campaign Finance Reform.
