Super Committee's Cuts Anything But Automatic

Tuesday, September 27, 2011

Unless you're filthy rich, why would you want a flat tax? Flat taxes disproportionately benefit the rich over poor and middle classes, and would leave the rich with more money to continue to purchase politicians.

Ratigan's project is about passing a Constitutional amendment prohibiting money in politics. Federal campaigns would be publicly financed, the way it used to be.

All good questions (which I think I know the answers to, such as individuals wouldn't be able to contribute to campaigns), but ask Ratigan.

Super Committee's Cuts Anything But Automatic

Dylan Ratigan kicked off the campaign to GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS today.

Ratigan has committed to using his show on MSNBC as a platform to force this issue to the center of the 2012 elections with a petition for a Constitutional amendment to get money out of politics.
Here is the proposed Constitutional amendment:

"No person, corporation or business entity of any type, domestic or foreign, shall be allowed to contribute money, directly or indirectly, to any candidate for Federal office or to contribute money on behalf of or opposed to any type of campaign for Federal office. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, campaign contributions to candidates for Federal office shall not constitute speech of any kind as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution or any amendment to the U. S. Constitution. Congress shall set forth a federal holiday for the purposes of voting for candidates for Federal office."

Sign the petition, tell friends, Facebook it, Tweet it. #GetMoneyOut.

The Counter-Reformation: The Fall of Campaign Finance Reform

I just signed the petition for Dylan Ratigan's freshly launched project to Get Money Out of Politics.

If you want the change that you thought you were getting when you voted for Obama and Democrats, it's only going to come once the money is out of politics.

Now's the time to drive this meme; join the movement.

Go here and sign the petition.
