Want to get common sense gun laws past? First you gotta get money out of politics. Money out of politics means less power in politics for the gun lobby. Want to get marijuana legalized? First you gotta get money out of politics. Money out of politics means that the people who stand to loose money in a weed legal America (the tobacco and alcohol industries mainly) won't have as much power.
Basically every issue in the web of issues is tied in the center to money in politics. Get the money out and then we can have real change, and make actual progress.
