MOVEON.ORG: Reclaim Our Democracy From Corporate Corruption. Please DU :)

[kjackson227]

From MoveOn.Org: It's now or never. In the wake of the BP spill and the Wall Street meltdown, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to rescue our democracy from the corporate corruption that led to these disasters.

It's time for elected officials in Washington to choose sides: Will they do the bidding of corporations and their lobbyists or stand with the Other 98% of us to make government work again? Together we're creating a tool to put them on the record on this critical question—but we need your help.

The "Stand for Democracy" project has already generated hundreds of ideas that have been rated over 1.3 million times. Now, we've got the top tier of ideas, and we a really tough decision to make together. Which ideas should make it into our final platform?

Click here to help choose the winning ideas so we can construct our pledge against corporate corruption in our democracy. Voting ends Monday night at midnight PST.

1. They would only let me pick 5.

I wanted to pick ten.

I still took the poll though.

2. lots of good ideas, but my final 5 are...

Your final slate of pledges to combat corruption ...

Amend the constitution to overturn the Supreme Court's flawed decision to give corporation the same first amendment rights as people. Corporations are not people and shouldn't be able to buy elections.

Ensure that all voting machines produce a verifiable paper trail for all elections.

All meetings between elected officials or their staff, and lobbyists should be in public record and online, including who attended and what was said.

Require all corporations to list all political contributions in their annual reports and solicitations for proxy.

Establish public funding of elections to level the playing field.
