I just signed this petition to reduce the influence of big money in our political system.
Get Money Out of Politics
If you're interested in signing this petition too, go
here. I believe the goal is for 100,000 signatures and Care2 is currently at 180.
Our representatives spend up to half their day raising money for re-election rather than representing 'we the people.' As a result, the microscopic fraction of the American population who can afford to donate gobs of cash are granted undue access and influence. That's why we have got to get money out of politics.
The 2016 election might be the first $5 BILLION presidential election. That is a staggering figure. We must stand together to put the power back in the vote, not the dollar. We will not stand for any more greed, and we will not stand for big money determining the present and future of our country. It's time to take democracy back.
