A House Bill to Ban Corporate money in elections inspired by the Occupiers:
This is what should be happening in response to the Occupy movement - discussion of new laws to fix our problems (corrupt congress/media favoring big business interests, inequality, unemployment, deficits, lack of financial/environmental control via regulations, counterproductive wars). Also candidates are starting to identify themselves for 2012. At present they stand little chance due to the money that incumbents and corporate-backed TeaPartiers have been given; but it is a start. That is why campaign finance reform is so critical in restoring our democracy.
Write your congressmen to support this bill.
If unconvinced, read at least the reviews of this great book . I'm reading it now and it is full of careful research. It is by Lawrence Lessig, a Reagan supporter, Clerk for Judge Scalia, and currently a Harvard Law Professor.
