I think I heard and read that.

A political revolution is needed

7 steps


1. Reforming the FEC
2. Passing the Disclose Act
3. Passing the Shareholder Protection Act and ending the legal double standard for corporations and unions
4. Expanding public funding of elections
5. Amending the Constitution and building a democracy-friendly First Amendment
6. Retaking the Supreme Court
7. Ending inequality

1. I believe they do.

There's a lot of areas where the President can push back and start to change the system. Justice, Treasury, and Education just to name three. He doesn't need congress to set policy in any of those departments. There's at least a dozen more that's under direct control of the President. A change in policy in those departments will begin to change the system over all.

People need to wake up before it's too late, if it's not too late already.

2. Congress might be able to do it, but they won't

The Supreme Court could do it, but they don't like to reverse their own rulings. It could happen.

3. It does not matter what the people think.

Democrats have to win the White House and both houses in order to pass a law challenging the USSC ruling and hopefully it will go all the way to a new court.

4. 90% don't even know what citizens united is...

5. I doubt that 50% know what it is. n/t
