There is an issue which both Parties must work upon...

[kentuck]

It really isn't a Republican or a Democratic Party issue. It is about the American people. It is about saving our democracy.

The money in politics has gone beyond the limits that the American people, Democrats and Republicans, can accept. Even though the Republicans appear to have a huge advantage in the "money is free speech" argument, the majority of Americans understand that it corrupts both Parties. Something needs to be done.

Some have argued that it would be OK to leave the money in the political system, but require all political donations be made within the state of residence, or the Congressional District of residence? I don't know if that would work, but it might be a good start? We have reached a point of crisis.

Democrats need to challenge Republicans to work together to get this money out of our political system. Money is not "free speech" when it comes to saving our democratic republic. What kind of government do we want, anyway? The people must decide.

Democrats should focus on getting this issue, (Citizens United), on the ballot in every state in the Union. This is an issue that affects every American citizen and it isn't about Democrats or Republicans. We need to lead on this issue.

1. I would be (fucking) astounded if this happened.

Both parties have bellied up to the money trough.
It is actually being touted as a PLUS that Hillary has secured so much corporate money. CU has really been a benefit for her.
The media, who are the beneficiary of the money, are not going to help with getting rid of CU. They lurve the money!
All I am seeing lately about CU is emails bemoaning CU, and then asking me to HELP MATCH THE KOCH BROTHERS!!!!!!
Which is exactly what I suspected would happen.

4. Yes, the Democrats are already begging for money to compete with the Koch brothers...

Exactly the wrong strategy.

2. Publicly fund elections, and drastically shorten the campaign season.

We don't need a 2-year horse race to figure out a politician. Give them 6 weeks - that's plenty of time to get out their message.

3. Money, so they say, is the root of all evil today

Money it's a hit
So don't give me that do goody good bullshit...
