Robert Reich: "Stop whining and start mobilizing."

[Triana]

Stop whining and start mobilizing. Although "Citizens United" has unleashed a tsunami of big money into our political system, support is growing for a constitutional amendment saying corporations aren't people and money isn't speech. Big money can also be countered by an army of small donors backed by federal matching funds -- the idea behind the Empowering Citizens Act (HR 6448), recently introduced by Representatives David Price (D-NC) and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), which matches every $1 of contribution from individuals donating up to $250 with $5 of public funds. It's an important step forward and deserves your support -- and your efforts to mobilize others in support of it.

1. the Empowering Citizens Act (HR 6448) -unless those 2 can pass it on their own it'll nvr get passed

2. If enough people wrote/called and DEMANDED of their Dem (and Repub) reps

It would at least have a better chance. Change comes from the bottom up.

in the destruction of the US economy would admit that they were bought and paid for, as..say..labor secretary...but no, it's always just deny...lie...duck...weave...Bob.
