Our nation is sleepwalking towards disaster. We have allowed our democracy to degenerate into a corporatocracy. We are allowing our so-called leaders to gut the environmental, financial, and electoral protections so painfully won over the past century.
Money is at the root of this evil. As long as politicians care only about getting re-elected, and as long as elections go to the ones with the most money, the .1% will continue to define our destiny.
Supporting AB14, the California Clean money act will at least let us see who is pulling the financial strings that play the tune that our craven politicians dance to. Perhaps that will energize the national wake-up movement that we need so badly.
