Alison Hartson, the leader of Americans Take Action California, who was also the driving force behind getting the historic resolution, AJR1 (Gatto, 2014) to pass, and I are in a group picture in a segment of TYT!
Alison has been on TYT many times. She's a powerhouse who is leading the way in California for publicly funded elections and getting corporate money out of politics. She's worked on the national stage with Wolf Pac as well.
Here's a little bit of what's she's accomplished:

Now, on to the current important stuff, getting corporate money out of, and publicly funded elections in, California. The California Fair Reform for Equality in Elections, aka, California FREE Act is the way to do it and you can help.
It won't take more than a couple minutes to take this small step for democracy. Here's how:
Go to SaveDemocracy.org
Print the petition.
Sign the petition.
Mail it to the address on the instructions.
Done. You just helped save democracy.
If you are in California, please do the above. If you don't live in California but know someone that does, please tell them how easily they can help save democracy.
And here's Cenk talking about it. Alison is the one in both group pictures, on the far left in the second group and second to the left in the first group. I'm the "blonde" on the far right in the first group.
It may not be the cover of the Rolling Stone but I'm thrilled!

You're doing the Bernie Bounce!!
I have no idea what eom means, but I'll look it up
Usually used to let you know there's nothing but what's in the subject line but some people use it in the "message text" box.
People also use "n/t" which means "no text"
And now you know everything I know. 
supporting this important movement
Ky has its own 'special' brand of corruption. Both parties are bellied up to the trough.
I've already joined the PAC in KY!
I really appreciate the support
And welcome to DU! We can use you here.
.
You are all so welcoming. I really like it here
tweeted as well! Nice! 
This is something everyone is sick of, money in politics and especially elections.
Hoping you're wrong on this, which would be really unusual. You're almost always right. 
This cause is the one that affects most other causes. It's the most fundamental of them all!
We have to accomplish this to change anything else.
Thank you, my friend.
So proud of you all. 
We're trying.
Hope you can get all your California friends to sign!
Very kind of you. 
You're very sweet.
I appreciate it.
Hope you can help us! Very cool to take a small step for democracy! Or get your California friends to sign!
Thank you, again!
That's what it's all about! 
I'm going to have to steal that
Thanks for the big kick!
That's just awesome!
If you have any questions at all, just let me know. [email protected]
I'm pretty excited about it.
That does sound really exciting
I'm so easily made happy.
and enthusiasm for Bernie!
Just doing what I can, which is no where near what so many others here are doing.

And appearing on TYT is super fantastic!
I truly just lucked out. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time.
I'm trying! And people like you, helping to get the word out, even if just with a kick, is doing wonders. We've already gotten a couple of new volunteers and at least a few signatures. Every little bit counts!
So, to you, my friend!
is the key to reform in other areas of our government and society, like foreign policy and education.
I can't think of a more worthy cause. Kudos.
.
and all who take the time to support this bill to get publicly funded elections.
I appreciate it and I'm sure all the other volunteers do as well.
If you can help out, we would be grateful! Every signature gets us closer to our goal
Have a great night, lmd!
This is so encouraging!
Everyone saying such encouraging things just makes us want to work harder
Thank you, Enthusiast!
Small confession: (sob)
I am mostly a lurker but long time member since I have been here almost since the beginning and DU is one the the first places I go to to find news and worthy comments. But today I have to post something because I haven't posted anything in the past 30 days and so until I post again my stuff is gone. 
Gah!
But I cannot think of a more important place to post since The Wolf Pac is kicking ass and taking names (literally) The Wolf Pac is da bomb!
Love, Cat in Seattle
Seattle is the bomb! Seriously, you guys have inspired us!
They only keep the "my post" stuff for 30 days 
Keep posting! We need all the attention we can get
Go #WolfPac! #GoATA! #caFREEact
I'm honored to be the post you posted to. Thank you!
