No matter what our political beliefs, I think we can all agree that the current two-parties represent only the interests of their lobbyists. I lost faith in the system a while back, but this video gives some hope. Even if it is a long-shot.

Sorry to steal your hope. This organization is KILLING 3rd parties. IF YOU SUPPORT FREEDOM OF CHOICE DO NOT SUPPORT THESE PEOPLE, THIS ORGANIZATION IS THE EPITOME OF WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING. Financed by "individual philanthropic organizations" you know, tax write-offs and safe havens for billionaires like Bill Gates/Koch Family/Warren Buffet/George Soros, the kind of people that truly care about protecting your rights and individual liberty, right? Amendment 2 in MO. passed in 2016 a bill pushed by these people, makes it impossible for 3rd parties to gain the financing they need to stand any kind of chance against the two major parties. So of course DEMOCRATS and REPUPS support this deceptive crap. Politicians do not get rich from donations or campaign financing, (Amendments 2 in MO. put caps on financing) but making money off your campaign is already illegal in all 50 states. Politicians get rich by making back room deals with banking and corporate interests, through investments in and of sister and parent companies for which they all have vested interests. Please, don't be fooled these people must be stopped!!! They have made comments of mine private, comments that poke obvious holes in their logic, censorship of ideas is not how people who want to help you operate.

To be fair not all politicians are corrupt, Bernie Sanders has shown himself to be very uncorrupt (I am not saying he's the only one, but he's the only one off hand that comes to mind that I trust and has the experience, popularity/name recognition, and good plans too) Voting for Bernie would also be a way to fight corruption. It's throwing the baby out with the bathwater when we say all are corrupt, we need to recognize great people like Bernie when they appear and give them maximum support. Think of how much push-back the democratic party has against Bernie, how hard they have made it for him, and see that as even more proof of his quality and honesty. But it won't matter what they say if enough of us vote for him, it may need to be over 50% with a rigged system, so let's get it done. Also support this anti-corruption thing too, (hopefully legit and not some kind of scam, not sure how to determine that) it has some very good stuff in it, We aren't limited to doing only one or the other.

They have had quite a few victories. I know they did a voters guide and some of the better presidential candidates did not make it on this particular issue. However if you look at "drain the swamp" as good on the issue then there you go. But on the issues this org backs trump is meh on the issue and biden was pretty meh. Vote down ballot if you care about this one. But if you want to get involved on the state level or the city level i did quite a few lobby visits and chapter start ups in my state. We made some head way but nothing passed state wide. Few city level things in my state. All in all great org. Still have the head of volunteers at nationals cell number. Great guy. He was a left libertarian and i am a right libertarian so we had some fun talks. Truly bipartisan org. Long comment. But they do good work and i am proud of the time i spent with them. Might come back when i get this new org im with fully operational. 😁 hope this helps.

We recently passed ranked choice voting in Maine. Then we had to fight to get it implemented even after it passed. Then we had sore losers challenging the counts. Definitely uphill but it’s done. 🙂 Because of this, our votes are starting to mean something in Maine. We all need to remember democracy works by individuals adding up. That is the entire basis of democracy. The “it’s only a drop in the bucket” argument is foolish and disempowered. The bucket is filled with drops. Period. We all need to put our drop in the bucket and stop thinking change is not possible because we can’t put a whole cup in the bucket. I don’t get to put a cup in the bucket because I am not more important than everyone else. I plan to sign every anti-corruption item that comes around and will donate to this organization.

So how do these referendums work? Could they issue a injunction on the law that was passed to defeat the referendum? Also note how all the democrats voted against this overturn of the anti-corruption act. Maybe they did so knowing the votes wouldn't be enough, for the optics, but I'm sure there is also the issue that the two parties are not the same, republicans have taken dishonest rule breaking corruption to whole new levels. If you don't like what happened, vote democrat, or at least note who voted for this stupid anti-referendum and make sure they don't get reelected.

Nothing has happened at all. There have been no successes. Every attempt to pass an anti-corruption act has been shot down and overturned. This will never work, there is nothing we can do to stop lobbyism. The correct time to act on this was decades ago, now we suffer the consequences. Even on hundreds of years, there will still be lobbyism and nothing will be different than it is today. We will still be using the imperial system, healthcare will still be private and expensivs, we will still have a shit education system. All we can do now is just sit back and watch America burn until it collapses. When that happens, the land will be returned to the natives, where is belongs

The way I see it at the moment, there are about three core problems with us that make it difficult to solve our other problems: Corruption, Bias, and Lack of Education. Once we solve that trifecta, many other solutions to other problems will be made much easier for us to deal with. Global Warming could have law makers working together across party lines to back educated solutions to it. Economic inequality and healthcare could have people having legitimate conversations about them. It will probably take a while to solve our world’s problems, but this video is certainly helping. Thank you.

The problem with AACA (and it's derivatives) is the corporate media (which now includes the social networking platforms). They control/spin what information is distributed to people. You can shut down the lobbyists, the campaign contributions etc., but the money is and will be directed into controlling the corporate media. You could make sure that every candidate doesn't receive a single dollar from anyone, but then who determines which voices get heard on the social media platforms, in the local (corporate owned) newspapers, and let's not even start with ABC/CBS/NBC/PBS/FNC/CNN/MSNBC/Washington Post/New York Times/Wall Street Journal/etc.. Also, I would support revolving door legislation but even that will be manipulated and cloaked in secrecy. It will only lengthen the pipeline between public service and the private sector. Heck, I could easily wait 10 years for a sweet gig after becoming famous via the corporate media. Until Americans decide to start seeking answers/views outside their corporate media troughs and social media echo chambers, they will be manipulated. Be careful, you CAN EASILY legislate the control/restriction of information in the name of fairness ($$$ restrictions, more power to the media), but you WILL NEVER BE ABLE to legislate away apathy and tribalism. Until people start to wake up, the only thing we have is FREE SPEECH. That's what people should be fighting for. We could easily throw out crooked politicians at the ballot box, but hey "that official" is on "my" team (Republican/Democrat), or maybe most of us just don't have a clue, and don't really care (how many people can even name one Senator from their state?).

True. People don't really know their leaders, they know them through media, so who control media, control the system. What is "free & independent" media? The media owned by the rich, none poor or even upper middle class owns media. That is why liberal democracy is always controlled by wealth. Also the change they are proposing won't ban political donations, merely to give refund to people who make small donations, corporations always have more money, so it might help a little, but it is not really a solution.

Great video. It’s about time we are even talking about this. First step, end career politicians. Next step, recognize the six companies that control all of the corporate media outlets in the entire country. These six are the muscle behind corrupt government. The Democrats in the 60’s had a strategy to take over all of our forms of messaging. Look at Democrat run Hollywood, music and television. Look at the way ‘reporters’ report. All outlets say the same thing everyday, at the same time and the same words. It’s great we are addressing corruption in government, but you have to recognize the corrupt media also.

Due to history lessons, and to common knowledge of various behavioral threat assessments of reoccurring bad government actions; bad corporation actions; reoccurring corruption; duplicity by politicians; likely violations of citizens’ rights by government, this new type of act recognizes the importance of extra protection to the Bill of Rights, and Citizens Individual Rights, and To Due Process, which shall not be infringed, which has been paid for by the sacrifice of ancestors in the pursuit of freedom, rights, and a better way of life, and to be free of tyranny. This act is to aid further protection of rights and learning of past to secure freedom into action. This act shall be adopted by the Citizens, and as allowed by the US Constitution.

Got it here: archive.org/details/gilens_and_page_2014_-testing_theories_of_american_politics.doc TL:DR: “When the preferences of economic elites and the stands of organized interest groups are controlled for, the preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.” The data used went back to 1981. What this means is shocking, but people have been conditioned since birth to believe they live in a 'representative democracy' which turns out to be a lie now. (It wasn't when I was a kid in the 70s.) The U.S. functions as a plutocracy because the only people who get what they vote for are the wealthy. Rich people - who control the media - still believe they live in a democracy because THEY still get what they vote for.

If you can’t get trough with it, you might still try to win a.court case accusing a lobbyist of bribery.. that’s obviously what they do, so if a jury would have to decide...and you need to win only one case to get the rest of them almost automatically sentenced.

I have an idea... make it legal to walk into the whitehouse... make it legal for people to show up with pitchforks next to the military, and police force, and make it legal to look into all money, and all meetings. Without FEAR, politicians won't care. All these bills and laws do is add people who are paid off, which is how we got here to start with.

Is anyone awake of other countries similarly in the same like situation, and their districts also alike working on similar anti-corruption actions? And are there any of them suceeding as of yet despite likely pushback by corrupt, tyrannical, dictatorial, hypocritical, inhumane, insane, and narcissistic-like people?

The individual level is the most dysfunctional. People look for reasons to throw in the towel and think there is nothing that can be done, or even worse: start infighting and finger pointing. Democracy isn’t for the feint of heart. It’s participatory. “We the people...” is how the Declaration of Independence starts. It doesn’t start with, “You politicians...”

@@saltwaterpurl Politicians teach "learned helplessness" by example. Anything they don't want to do is someone else's fault , too late or impossible right now. Wait for November. Then wait four more years. Meanwhile blame the voters. They are the only ones with power for change. Theoretical power that is.

Genuine question: are you calling for a national convention to amend the constitution, the threat of which represents the yellow line, or is it a critical mass that tends to lead to the federal government choosing to put it on the docket?
