AMERICANS - READ AND SIGN

Get your name on the petition and tell your friends. Make it known you want to get the money out of politics.
I am not a huge Dylan Ratigan fan, but he has his moments, and this is definitely one of those moments. If it can be given national attention, or even attention for the presidential campaign in 2012, we might finally get the ball rolling to restore the "Of the People, By the People, For the People" motif writ by our founders. It's become Of the Money, By the Money, For the money and no one's stopping it because it's become so serious and huge. Maybe, just maybe, some real national attention will cause the spark necessary to make the change.
Click the link and sign the petition. It's the least you can do. Until the money is out of politics, we'll NEVER see our country on the right track. Jobs will NEVER be the focus, the economy will NEVER be the focus, education or the debt or anything else we actually need addressed will NEVER BE THE FOCUS until the money is out and the people are in. The only focus will only ever be the get the other side kicked out (and if that much hasn't become deafeningly obvious over the past 3 years, I'm not sure how much louder it could get to convince you).
Click the damn thing and sign already or I won't eat you ]:8)

Ok, you're an exception, Flare. If you do not sign it I WILL eat you! ]>89~~~
That said, it's probably still worth signing the thing even if only as an expression of absolute disgust at the status quo.
Meanwhile, Canada's had exactly this ideal for nearly a decade, sharply-limited personal contributions (~$1,000/person/party/year), an outright ban on corporate/union donations, and a publicly-funded per-vote subsidy to the parties for them to run their campaigns on. And the first thing the Conservatives did upon finally taking over total control of the gov't this spring was begin dismantling it...
Yeah, face value it doesn't quite sound feasible, but I believe it's more of an outlet for the outrage, a stance to take against the bullshit. Such an amendment wouldn't fly without a real public funding of elections legislation in place.
