Money

3. We need less money in politics overall. But I understand the dilemma. Eg, it costs

an obscene 1 Billion Dollars to get to the WH, or did last time, now it will probably be even more.

Rather than join this abomination by saying we need 'more money', how about campaigning on the issue, educationg people on the corruption of our system by all this money flowing in to politics?

Maybe we could take one state and pour all of our small donations into all of its Progressive Candidates for Congress and all energy and effort to begin the process of changing Congress, which we know is going to take a long time.

One group did that in the midterms. They didn't just work on one state, but supported 16 Progressive candidates 11 of whom won. It is a new organization which will now try to expand those efforts in the next election.

They didn't have much money, but used other means of getting support for their candidates.

Because the truth is, we can't get the money OUT of Congress until we get those money has bought OUT and replace them with people who will work to end this 'Best Democracy Money Can Buy' system we are currently struggling under.
