Occupy Wall Street Protesters Fed Up With Both Parties

Unless and until there is drastic and uncompromi­sing change to our campaign financing system, until corporatio­ns are no longer 'persons' and are prohibited from participat­ing in elections and politics, all efforts to reform government are useless. But that is NOT going to happen under Obama or the DLC-contro­lled Democratic Party. It's not even on their 'To Do' list. It is on this man's.

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

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.  The first threshold he set was 100,000 signatures on the petition.  That goal was met two days ago and tomorrow Ratigan is kicking off the campaign by taking the petition to the US Capitol and delivering it to Congress.  

The new threshold is to double the number of signatures­, and then double them again, and keep doing it until the weight of the number of voices in America demanding a government free from corporate and foreign money influence.  

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.
