Cenk Uygur Launches New Effort To Separate Money And Politics

NEW YORK -- The movement to separate money and politics is getting another champion. Progressive television and radio host Cenk Uygur has launched a super PAC designed to organize citizens who demand a constitutional amendment to end the current system of campaign finance and leave money out of politics.

Uygur announced the Wolf PAC on Wednesday through an Internet video and an appearance at the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City's Zuccotti Park.

"Every single issue gets decided by who gives the most donations," Uygur told The Huffington Post. "We have, in a sense, lost our democracy. The only determining factor is money. We must pass a constitutional amendment to get money out of politics. It's not even a democracy anymore, it's an oligarchy."
