Fighting corporate power in congress.

[liberaldemocrat7]

The only way you're going to fight corporate power in congress will come from finding out which corporations give money to "conservatives" in both parties and then organizing as many people to call these corporations and demand the progressive legislation we want, and then prepare to not buy their products until the legislation gets passed.

Until then you might as well bark at the moon.

1. This is why we need publicly funded elections.

In other words, allocate each candidate a fixed amount of money to be used to buy ads & do campaigning. No outside donations allowed. No individual donations, no corporate donations. Not one nickel. On top of that, regulate TV, radio and other advertising - require media outlets to adhere to the Fairness doctrine. Also eliminate the tax exempt status for 527 groups, and try to find some way to regulate them so they don't drown the public in nasty attack ads.

The whole point is to completely eradicate the current system of legalized bribery.

2. You're not going to get publicly funded elections so fast.

Arizona has it, but companies will fight it when it comes to congressional elections.

So you need to take the fight to the CEOs of these companies and demand the legislation from them. They need our business and the price of getting our business: Our desired progressive legislation.

Picture thousands of people calling such companies and demanding progressive legislation.
