I want to thank our President. Doubly.

49. Make Corporate funding for candidates, POISON. OWS started the conversation about money controlling

this country. Now, rather than just support the Corporate Candidates provided for us, as we have so foolishly done for so long, campaigns now need to focus on 'who is funding this candidate'. There are dozens of very effective Liberal Organizations now who have the infrastructure to start doing this. And millions of us willing to volunteer to do the research on each and every candidate to see and publish, on Campaign Signs, in campaign emails, who their funders are with the question 'who will this candidate represent'?

People are far more aware now of the evil of money in politics. Campaigns should from now on make this a central issue so that candidates who used to boast about how much money they had in their 'war chests' (a disgusting analogy) will be scared to death of that now, that money is going to be held against them.

So many times the Dem Party Leadership has worked to support the most highly funded candidates, while abandoning the more Progressive candidates and we followed often, scared of the 'lesser evil'. Well, I have moved on from that and so have millions of others.

NJ, Christie, Buono is a perfect example and hopefully voters, if not elected officials who endorsed him, will never again make that mistake. The party leadership betrayed their own candidate in favor, not just of a Corporate Candidate, but of a REPUBLICAN. Sick to death of the hypocrisy, while they demand that the voters 'vote democratic, THEY support right leaning, corporate candidates and even Republicans.

I eg, will be looking for the candidates, like Buono, who don't have all that funding. That is a number one issue now for me. I am totally suspicious of anyone who is accepting funding from major Corps and I intend to work to make everyone I know view this as the number one issue to consider when choosing a candidate. And I KNOW I am not alone.
