I subscribe to two state groups (Florida and New Jersey) and three other groups- Labor, Economy, and Occupy. You are correct in describing our current challenge as dealing with the plutocracy. They have suborned both the media and our politicians. We need to expose the current crop of politicians before we can replace them. The mainstream media have reneged on their fourth estate watchdog role, so citizens have to find ways to disseminate the truth using alternative methods. What you are doing is extremely valuable.
