- In this turbulent midterm election year, two academics -- Lawrence Lessig and Zephyr Teachout -- left the classroom and confronted the reality of down-and-dirty politics, attempting to replace moneyed interests with the public interest. Bill speaks with them about the hard-fought lessons learned on the state of American democracy. See more: bit.ly/11nYAET
Excellent interview.
Great interview...and Teachers' book is an enlightening read. Both she and Lessig are freedom fighters, and we are all joining together to fight corruption. Join Wolf PAC and help us restore our voice and our vote !
The GOP will never allow this "government matching of crowd funding" approach. They are literally against returning power to the people. They prefer their 'useful idiots' whipped up by fear and simple minded associations. But we need to push for this. As mentioned, hope is all we have and we must push forward.

Their voters have no real clue who they are, especially the Southern Fundamentalists.
This is one of the best videos I have seen on this subject, not just because it describes the problem so well, but because it offers solutions that make a lot of sense.
For every person in the top 1% there are 99 in the bottom 99%. The problem is the top 1% is well organized and actively engaged, the bottom 99% is not. It is time that changed. I encourage everyone watching this video to join Wolf PAC, Move to Amend, Common Cause, or whatever other organization you like that is fighting for this issue and get others to do the same. Spread the word!
Thanks for speaking up, and thanks for naming those organizations. I'm going to check them out myself now because of your post, so please know that your appeal didn't fall entirely on deaf ears, my friend. Keep fighting! (Oh, and support Sen. Bernie Sanders, if you haven't already decided to do so; I imagine you know about him, but I never post on something like this without mentioning his campaign. I'm 26, and he's by far the most inspiring and encouraging presidential candidate I've seen in my lifetime. Here's hoping he can win out and really do this thing!)
Why the hell does this have under 1000 views?
This is the most important issue in America, WOW.
At least part of this large scale apathy is probably due to the corporatracracy looking out for its own interests.
Cenk?! 11:16 :D
Democrats and unions. ???
