I support this as well, from Germany. Doubt this will work that well though. Politicians need a lot of money for campaigns and without campaigns you won't get far. And in the German political system, lobbyist offer expertise. This doesn't mean lobbyism is a good thing, it is just a call for a differentiated viewpoint. Know your enemy. Know the root of it and the system supporting it (which is: politicians and parties need their money!).
Not congress. The private media and the "public" media that's actually under collective control of private entities. Basically, don't be surprised if you start seeing very aggressive attempts to brainwash the public on this.
My question is .."Why does Hillary need a Billion dollars in her war chest?" she is spending all her time raising money for herself... she is going to have a LOT of favors to fill...
gophop its more like the people are waking up and realizing that all the parties are the same fking snake. and the entire system needs an overhaul to get the scumbag traitors out.and voting isn't going to cut it.
Here we are. 7 years after this video. And I’m just now hearing about this anticorruption law. And nothing has been done whatsoever. It’s gotten worse honestly
Your shit-hole country is utterly doomed. You are 4% of global population, with almost no production, completely dependent on other nations productivity, with a devalued blood-soaked fraudulent currency hat the world aren't interested in any more, while trying to fund the biggest military empire-building the world has ever seen, while you bath in your own degenerate consumerism and gluttony, becoming the first generation in history with shorter lifespan than the previous. Unless you get back to your historical and cultural roots, abolish statetheism and refuse authoritarian control outright, you will die the economical death you deserve and be relegated buck to the dust-heap of history as just another failed megalomaniac death-cult empire. No, people do not need to hear this. The idea of fixing the problem (government) by adding more government (problem) is ludicrously insane.
When you by "legal" mean the holy scribbles on paper by the clergy of statetheism, the corruptors and corruptees themselves, in the most megalomaniac control-freak zealot of nations in history, and are suprized about the result, I can only laugh. it would be more succinct to state the obvious, that it is worrying that legality is determined by the source or corruption. People are tragically and utterly ignorant of polycentric law.
Divided we fall. . . Oh wait we fell. Covid-19 has doomed us, but it's showing people just how horrible our country is right now. How corrupt it is and our founding fathers said to remove a corrupt government.
That’s why they make up issues to get people to fight. Economically, the working-class white voter and the Black voter have the same interests most of the time. But they often vote oppositely. Why is this? Partly because of racism and partly because they know if they could get all of the working-class PEOPLE on one side, the we could change the entire system. So instead they have us fighting each other over stupid culture war issues like “Critical Race Theory” or “Confederate Statues” or “Transgender people getting to use the bathroom”. But what do I know? I’m just a guy with a fake name posting in the UA-cam comments section. Anyway, think about it.
Already shared :P No bites yet, though. How is it that more people aren't intrigued and excited by just the title of this video? Do people really place greater importance on cat videos?
The core problem why a society is corrupt, is because the powerful in charge have a greedy mindset that indirectly affects the rest of the people. The term "A fish rots from the head down." means that a corrupt leadership will produce a corrupt society, while a just leadership will produce a just society.
@nadeembitar5292yeah but he means that even guys from the working class that might start off good will become greedy once they are handed leadership. We as humans are greedy. The only way to have true freedom is no leadership at all. Everyone has to be their own leader, for True freedom.
Seriously? I wonder if non-jewish people who label and blame may have difficulty accepting the fact that people who seem to be 'like you' might be evil douchebags. Here's the thing, though. Banking emerged during the Renaissance and of the 9 wealthiest banking families (excluding royals/nobility) only 2 were Jewish. The Barings, Fuggers and Medicis (and others) were not. If we look at the wealthiest American families: Astor, Carnegie, Mellon, Ford, Getty, Hughes, Vanderbilt, Rockefeller - none of them Jewish. In modern times, Buffet, Gates, Koch, Walton have enormous wealth and power but are not Jewish, nor are the current top 5 richest men in the world. There are sh*t loads of money and power in Arab nations, in Asia and China, and in South America, almost none of it held by Jewish families. Blaming the jews lets all the other greedy billionaire douchebags off the hook. Do the Walton family deserve a free pass for not being Jewish?
When Wall Street doesn't like their blockage to their reign of corruption and greed--it's gotta be a good thing! I emailed my state level reps and senators to request they view it then draft perinent legislation but Oregon has been taken over by the big corpses (out of state mega corporates)so there may not be an opportunity to get this done in Oregon. We Oregonians have voted a few times to get outside Oregon monies out of the state, but stupid GOP propagandized voters keep voting them in!
Well, if they really did do that then they wouldn't have allowed Bilderberg meetings audio recordings to be posted online. You can straight up listen to them.
I talk about lobbying all the time and honestly some people DEFEND the practice!! Saying the government shouldn't be able to restrict private citizens donations... Such bs
@@djmarie2058 it is the work around... don't know the date but sometime around the 70s the Supreme Court decided a Corp is an extension of the citizen owner and therefore are afforded the same rights. So walmart is the same as the waltons.. which is complete horseshit. Let the owner take income and use that to donate, not allow the Corp to do the donation... We've corrupted our own system
Here are my thoughts, let's make it about "We the People 1. End gerrymandering; create an independent bipartisan commission to redraw legislative and congressional districts. 2. Address length of terms and allow no elected official to serve more than eight years in office. 3. End campaign donations and PAC’s. Allow only public funding of elections. 4. Implement national automatic voter registration. 5. End two party dominance of our elections, implement national ranked choice voting. 6. End the Electoral College. 7. Reinstate the FCC’s Fairness Doctrine for all broadcasters. 8. Allow no exceptions or protections from laws for any elected official that applies to others. 9. End lobbying; remove special interest influence from our political process.
@@obiwankenobi4252 Proportional representation is awful because it can cause entire states (like Wyoming) to have no representative. There are only about 300 representatives per party, and there are are only 500 000 people in Wyoming, and only 300 000 000 people in the United States, or only 150 000 000 people per major party. Wyomin has a only 1 out 300 people per party, and that's assuming all of Wyoming votes one party. 1/300 over 300 gives a straight probability of 1, which means it is very likely to not have a representative every so often. District voting guarantees that the representative who represents a district actually come from the district, and have any credibility and legitimacy to represent them. Wyoming Republicans are very different than Pennsylvania Republicans, and therefore are less able to Wyoming Republicans faithfully. You can get away with list voting in small states, like Slovenia or Israel, but it becomes illegitimate in large states.
@@obiwankenobi4252 And proportional representation with half of the representatives elected like today, still faces issues of legitimacy for the list half, but it's a lot better.
I have much more effective, profitable and damage-reducing program to fix the problem, and with only ONE simple step. It's the same as with other forms of cancer, we just have to remove the ACTUAL problem and cause. #1 Abolish governments. Done.
@@calysagora3615 Abolishing government would only create a pet vacuum that would be immediately filed by the richest/strongest, but now with no checks on power or motivation to even pretend to work in the interests of the common people. Total anarchy simply does not work for any group larger than around 20 people maximum. I get what you're saying (I used to consider myself a "minarchist" libertarian), but eventually I realized that, when done correctly, government isn't a force that works in opposition to the people - it's the instrument by which the people consolidate their power to act for the common good and protect themselves against oppression and totalitarianism. We don't need or want to abolish governments. We need to get corruption under control so that government can work for us, rather than against.
Luck would be if both of our candidates get stuck by lightning. Unlikely to happen but if it happens I will give you and scotland the credit for it, and I will aplaud you until my hands break for saving us.
This is it, folks. Citizen journalism. Sprouting out ALL OVER. Our channel is 2 months old and has 1200 subscribers. Tens of thousands of views. That's small-time by UA-cam standards, but we're just one of hundreds that were born the same month!
corporate media is fine. ask anyone under the age of 40 where they get their news from, and, a lot of the time, you'll hear social media as the answer. For some elderly folk, it's a lost cause; social media will only get stronger.
one major issue that is left unaddressed is that lawmakers themselves are "special interest groups". A politician could be bought, but a politician is certainly able to run on a fake campaign to implement special interests to his/her own liking. Until there is a culture of transparency in people running for office, special interests and big money will never disappear.

Super Bowl commercials cost 10 million a minute, and we only need until 5:15, so so we would need to raise $52,500,000 to have it air once during the game.
So advertise to those evidently most prone to fall for bread and circuses shenanigans, that the solution to the problem is more of the problem? (government) Brilliant... NOT. SMH.
Contact representus via their website via email or something so they might reply, theyd probably be happy to let u do that. Other great things to put in superbowl ad slots include slaughter house footage, veganism promotion, and to try to Convince gov to let everyone have an acre of free tax free fertile land to grow a food forest on and live on. End farm subsidies. End tax breaks to farms exsept those who grow healthy vegan food for human consumption exsept no large mono crops. End mandatory school, ged and hsd requirements, age limits, minimum wage, and exsessive regs. People should be able to learn how to do a good job they want so they can afford a house and car before 18. For those who and whos parents can afford it, tax deductible chairty and or the about 180,000dollars spent on k thru 12 per student could pay for it and trash k thru 12 and some of that money could be used to promote more independence and healthy living. Dont listen to idiots saying its a dumb idea, its a very good idea to use superbowl ad slots to influence alot of people and encourage them to do what u want. Many people already kno that its effective other wise people wouldnt pay so much for ad time.
if they did that it would cause riots and universal upheaval if they did try to get rid of it. it would be smarter to "buy" both winning sides like what is happening in Australia and oil/mining companies buying both major Parties. To my limited knowledge on US affairs they already do that, but they can only do so much because of how America is run/built. Or they just think they are safe enough and use that money to just buy more houses or use it to increase the companies wealth.
No they prefer to give you horrible candidates. Our list for 2024 is: -An old man who’s kept almost none of his promises. -A rich guy who has probably committed treason. -A Florida man who will burn the constitution before treating queers like people. -An antivaxxer riding on the coattails of his uncles presidency. -And a rather shady background figure who’s possibly not qualified. All of our candidates absolutely SUCK.
Memento M Then we frame it as if it is possible to have it be done in our lifetimes.The view to get money out of politics is pretty popular. That's why some people [ironically] voted for Donald Trump, out of abhorring politicians bought by PACs and corporations. Frame the issue as of it is possible to be done soon and people latch onto it.
Morgan Quell I don't disagree with the sentiment, but we humans are short-sighted and self-centered. I don't mean that as a moral statement. Unless most people perceive a significant benefit to themselves, and relatively soon, they won't act, even if they know not acting is irrational.
3:22 everyone DOES agree we need to fix our corrupt system. The problem is, we do not agree with what exactly is corrupt about it, nor the necessary steps to correct it. If you can fix that problem it's smooth sailing.
We can agree that corporations however have got to stop in their tracks. Corporations are not people, their leaders are not the ones in charge. The board is the actual heart of a corporation, or at least what’s left of its heart. Strike at the board and it will crumble into pieces and can be replaced. Could corporations still exist? Possibly, but not without INCREDIBLY heavy surveillance not by the government, but by the public.
At 0:18 when the heart pans up as the white water drips down, please someone tell me I'm not the only one that thought for a moment this was going in A VERY DIFFERENT DIRECTION.
My good friend Adam was American and had a very libertarian mindset, and I don't think he believed in partisan labels and neither do I. He passed away in 2015 and he got really involved in politics while he was at university and watching this I thought 'man he would have loved this idea'. I became just about as interested in politics around the same time as him and we had amazing talks, and was one of my biggest motivators and inspirations for becoming more educated and aware. I know he would have shared this and pressured the change in his home state of Nevada. Hope this works out.
Well written tribute to a good friend as Adam. He sounds like a great humanitarian and inspiration for many . This wonderful salute to a person who's zest for life and learning will continue through your efforts, and inspire others like myself. Great post.
We still love you America, we're just worried. Show us you're not a bunch of corporate/corrupt garbage and we'll rally behind you again. - Sincerely, The world :)
GlobalClimateNews - what the hell are you talking about. Who’s “we”? It’s just you moron. The US is a corrupt greedy militant regime coming to an end because of it’s own run amok neoliberalism which the existence of this very video clearly demonstrates.
y'know, if this had ever actually worked, it would be the first actually good reason i can see for states rights being enforced over human rights, because those humans would be big businesses and politicians
The issue is that all of the candidates who have run in the past, who actually wanted to end this, didn't get enough of a foothold in the political world. They weren't even given to the people as an option to vote for. Also, most people don't realize that this is an issue. It's not like it's being taught in the school system. People are blissfully and shockingly unaware of how everything in government works
+JarJar Binks If it finally got to the President's desk, the law would probably get so much media attention that the President would be playing with fire to not sign the bill.
No it wouldn't. The 24 news networks are all corporate owned. Corporations who have shamelessly dumped cash on our representatives themselves. The media wont say a word about this bill until it's too big to ignore and then when they do speak of it it will be criticism. Want proof? Did you hear that the senate made a push to redo the tax code? Which would clean out all the lobbied in tax breaks and loop holes that have been inserted over the decades. They were even offered 50 years of identity protection so that corporations couldn't take revenge against anyone who voted for the bill. Never heard of that whole push? Because the only 24 news stations to cover it AT ALL were MSNBC and Fox News. Fox brought it up one single time for about 2 minutes and MSNBC brought it up one single time for... about thirty seconds!
+Eero Haapala The only way to "overturn" the Supreme Court is for either the Supreme Court to do it themselves, or for all of us to enact an amendment to the US constitution which specifically countermands the Supreme Court's ruling. Amending the constitution requires so much consensus that it's basically impossible in today's political climate. So that leaves the Supreme Court to over-rule itself, and the only way that will happen is if the sitting justices retire (or die) and are replaced.
That won't help in a corrupt government. If the 2A can be violated so egregiously while being a contentious subject. How badly would your amendment be violated and ignored when vast majority of the politicians collaborate to that effect? We need to clean house and reduce the size of the government drastically.
Former governor of Wisconsin Tommy Thompson went to Washington to become Secretary of housing and Urban development. He was stated by saying that you don't go to change Washington because Washington changes you. There is so much corruption and that little six acre parcel called Washington DC it's pathetic
people will pay for what they want to pay for no matter what you do.what needs to be done is to break the centralized authority of money. Money should scale from the bottom up, not from the top down. Check out things like Bitcoin

Conservatives have a tendency to capitulate power to extremists, some shiny golden superheroe / fascist's in hard times when the state becomes corrupt and unresponsive. People become dissolutioned, alienated and disenfranchised. We all do but unfortunately instead of addressing the tyranny, mass consolidation overreach and abuse of power. Exploitation, injustice erosion of Rights etc Shoring up a truly free sovereign constitutional Democratic Republic of by and for the people with progressive policy and anti-corruption measures to shore up a clean establishment - elections, representation, parties, justice system, press, FDA etc Our basic fundamental Rights It all goes out the window once their radical superhero who promises to resolve everything/ extremists are in power. Essentially kicking the ladder away they ascended to keep it indefinitely. Ultimately that situation turns into a dictatorship. Far right populism is a gross farce that never serves the people and always ends in disaster. 💀 We see Republicans flirting with the idea of ending the democratic process openly more and more these days. Trump just spoke to shredding the constitution FFS. Not all conservatives of course but sadly a good chunk of their base. The wealthy elite class have a tendency to think they can play ball with these extremists and control them rather than giving into progressive policy, giving up any power. They absolutely don't want to be held accountable and stop their ability to exploit with impunity. These multinational corporations, big banks, foreign, religious and private dark money interests have a loooong, long history of manipulating and siding with far right extremists to do their dirty work. Just looking at all the black ops coups they've been engaged in over the decades 💀 The failed business plot coup Smedly Butler blew the whistle on for instance. They've been hard at hijacking our establishment since we won our war of independence against the tyrannical crony theocratic Christian monarchy and the East India company. These dark money interests and extremists will never stop their assault. Like Aldous Huxley stated - The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. There's a lot of blind so called liberal establishment supporters who go along with it at everyone's peril. Turning a blind eye to the corruption settling for the lesser of two evils over and over again which fuel's the ratchet effect into fascism. Screwing over progressives constitutionalists. Something Malcolm X spoke to frequently. We're fighting this shit on all sides and we have to come at this intelligently. If we come at it like a big reactionary unorganized violent mob that's completely divided it'd be over before it even began. We gotta reign in the dark money corruption and extremism. Insure a clean establishment, our ability to impact hard policy. Some transparency & oversight. That we can finally hold those in positions of power and authority accountable. Restore critical trust. 🗝️ Balance ⚖️ An empowered citizenry Then we can get back to left right agenda. History is not on rails and we cannot afford to continue repeating the worst mistakes of the past. We can stop this slide before it goes off the rails. It's far and away beyond left right party politics, rigged elections, some senator congressman or president. These are incredibly dangerous insane time's. A lot of people think what happened in Europe can't happen here but they'd be wrong. Amendments like this are critical to a movement. It gives the whole thing clearity from beginning to end. I don't put my faith in the establishment much these Days 💀 I put it squarely on all of us, we the people. To stand united when it matters most. To do what we should have done a long time ago. Viva the nonpartisan anti-corruption movement #RepresentUS represent.us/our-wins/ Without a clean establishment and our basic fundamental Rights we all have absolutely nothing. Keep that head up Keep fighting for the changes you wish to see.
You can't have crony capitalism if you don't give bureaucrats the power to award favors in the form of tax and regulatory breaks to their favorite people and corporations. Making government bigger and more powerful only increases crony-capitalism. The only government that is responsive to the people is the government closest to the people.

Its a great start but the way that I see it is that at the end of the day, if our social systems work on a financial platform thats owned, there will always be an agenda being executed. So arguably, an underlying philosophical problem of this is that the means of human exchange has been filtered to materialist gain and loss. Which in my opinion is simply only part of the reality. There is so much science that exemplifies our social nature as humans, implicating that the ways in which we interact and effect each other are much more than transactions and pleasure.
1:51 I can't find the full text of the act. There is roughly 4 summarized pages under the tab "What's In The Act" and it dedicated a couple sentences to each issue. For instance it says: "The Anti-Corruption Act ends gerrymandering by creating independent, fully transparent redistricting commissions that follow strict guidelines to ensure accurate representation for all voters, regardless of political party." I'm all for this, and I understand that most people visiting the site won't want to look at the legalese, but where can I find those strict guidelines written by constitutional scholars?
Great video. But a massive question here. How can we unite all anti-corruption movements? Recently we have the Democracy Spring, the Brand New Congress, and of course Cenk's Wolf-Pac to name a few. How do you coordinate with other movements to reach the same goal?
+Shny Fan We have to focus on one issue that is very important to EVERYONE no matter the other beliefs they have. From Black Lives Matter to organizations that want to legalize drugs to 9/11 truthers to those who think the war in Iraq was the greatest thing we ever did... we are ALL against corruption. Unfortunately, people can't think long term. The plan that was explained in this video would work, but it would take decades at best to reach the federal level. People want swift solutions which ultimately lead to even more destabilization and deception.
+Jeffrey Lebowski This is a long-term plan, yes, but it's more than doable, because they're concentrating on taking small steps toward achieving it, and each step (like passing an anti-corruption act in a city, or a state), is a real victory with positive effects that everyone would be able to see. We just need the persistence to keep doing it.
Thats just part of life then, doesnt mean people should stay silent and not try. With enuf effort, even if some try to counter it, if the majority thinks its a good enuf idea and try to get it enacted it can happen.

I think you are needed in my country here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 where people can feel the corruption in their government... in America the people may be too comfortable to feel the corruption
i thought conservatives like the corruption in government and buying of politicians. since conservatives are against regulations and when a liberal brings up campaign finance reform they say "you're just against people getting rich". i need help understanding the right wing, conservative argument against money in politics
1. Hire people with Integrity and have the nation's interest ahead of their own personal gain 2. Remove money and term limits Two things that will *never* happen in the United States
Term limits is a good one.. these politicians Make a career out of politics.. time To end that and give others the opportunity to care for the country.
I have been hoping for that for at least a couple decades. There are so many social issues that need to be resolved. You want a country going in the right direction that is good for the long run for people to thrive. Please don't elect liars or demagogues. Even if you don't, it will take years to recover from those damages caused by that unindicted co-conspirator #1.
No, lobbying isnt always nessicarily bad. Anyone can lobby and there are unpaid volenteer lobbyists who lobby for good causes and dont give politicans gifts or money or job offers to try to like bribe them. The problem is when politicians or gov workers do things just cuz they r like bribed to or do what whoever pays them the most wants, acting like puppets for big banks and big bussiness. Thus getting money out of politics is what some try to do.
Trump was a freak accident because they got overconfident with Hillary's chances of winning. An anti-establishment president like Trump will never be allowed to run again or will systematically be culled in the primaries.
@@Gigatony74 Only if we keep silent, but if the American people as unlikely as it is can stand together to conserve America's core values, then we can do something about it and vote more people like trump in, as well as have more people like trump running for public offices.

What about simply introducing more direct democracy? If the people get to decide on a topic by themselves, there is no way there can be a sneaky workaround to influence any politician.

This will be effective because these policys, new laws, all other issues are things that will make everyones lifes better . true power of the people . This will end the broken corrupt role of the state senator that is supposed to work for all of the states people , who has no real idea of what issues burdens our lifes , ends the corruption issues .

As a non US citizen, one might think, "Well, how can we do anything to help here?". I suppose the 'least' you can do is click the like button on this video to raise it to the top of UA-cam's trending list, and hopefully become something that the mainstream American public then becomes aware of. Or, at the very least, get an appearance on Ellen...

The real problem is inside all of us ....the moment we learn that egos are not the REAL YOU ....and know that your the same conciusness as mine then youll do the right thing AUTOMATICALLY
I agree and discuss the Corruption with people all the time. They all know that Corruption exist but then they go back to their comfy little homes and tell themselves that there's nothing they can do or you can't fight city hall. So how do WE get people to believe that they can do something about the Corruption? How do we get them out of their comfort zone?
As a Dutch person who has nothing to do with the USA, I support. Down with this corruption.
Yeah Europe is not innocent either. The only country in my mind that has the least amount of corruption is Switzerland and Iceland.
Switzerland? Are you nuts? Where do you think all of this crooked money is kept and hidden? Sheesh!

You cant buy enough votes with direct democracy.
yeah because you TOTALLY don't need an ID to vote, fuckface.
I support this as well, from Germany. Doubt this will work that well though. Politicians need a lot of money for campaigns and without campaigns you won't get far. And in the German political system, lobbyist offer expertise. This doesn't mean lobbyism is a good thing, it is just a call for a differentiated viewpoint. Know your enemy. Know the root of it and the system supporting it (which is: politicians and parties need their money!).

So much worse.

Unless you get back to your historical and cultural roots, abolish statetheism and refuse authoritarian control outright, you will die the economical death you deserve and be relegated buck to the dust-heap of history as just another failed megalomaniac death-cult empire.

the fact that systematic corruption is legal in the U.S is worrying to say the least.
When you by "legal" mean the holy scribbles on paper by the clergy of statetheism, the corruptors and corruptees themselves, in the most megalomaniac control-freak zealot of nations in history, and are suprized about the result, I can only laugh.
it would be more succinct to state the obvious, that it is worrying that legality is determined by the source or corruption.

That’s why they make up issues to get people to fight. Economically, the working-class white voter and the Black voter have the same interests most of the time. But they often vote oppositely. Why is this? Partly because of racism and partly because they know if they could get all of the working-class PEOPLE on one side, the we could change the entire system. So instead they have us fighting each other over stupid culture war issues like “Critical Race Theory” or “Confederate Statues” or “Transgender people getting to use the bathroom”. But what do I know? I’m just a guy with a fake name posting in the UA-cam comments section. Anyway, think about it.

The core problem why a society is corrupt, is because the powerful in charge have a greedy mindset that indirectly affects the rest of the people. The term "A fish rots from the head down." means that a corrupt leadership will produce a corrupt society, while a just leadership will produce a just society.
Right
@nadeembitar5292yeah but he means that even guys from the working class that might start off good will become greedy once they are handed leadership. We as humans are greedy. The only way to have true freedom is no leadership at all. Everyone has to be their own leader, for True freedom.

Mark, the sooner you get over your obsession with Jews the sooner you'll understand how DIVIDE AND CONQUER really works.
Seriously? I wonder if non-jewish people who label and blame may have difficulty accepting the fact that people who seem to be 'like you' might be evil douchebags. Here's the thing, though. Banking emerged during the Renaissance and of the 9 wealthiest banking families (excluding royals/nobility) only 2 were Jewish. The Barings, Fuggers and Medicis (and others) were not. If we look at the wealthiest American families: Astor, Carnegie, Mellon, Ford, Getty, Hughes, Vanderbilt, Rockefeller - none of them Jewish. In modern times, Buffet, Gates, Koch, Walton have enormous wealth and power but are not Jewish, nor are the current top 5 richest men in the world. There are sh*t loads of money and power in Arab nations, in Asia and China, and in South America, almost none of it held by Jewish families. Blaming the jews lets all the other greedy billionaire douchebags off the hook. Do the Walton family deserve a free pass for not being Jewish?
When Wall Street doesn't like their blockage to their reign of corruption and greed--it's gotta be a good thing! I emailed my state level reps and senators to request they view it then draft perinent legislation but Oregon has been taken over by the big corpses (out of state mega corporates)so there may not be an opportunity to get this done in Oregon. We Oregonians have voted a few times to get outside Oregon monies out of the state, but stupid GOP propagandized voters keep voting them in!
Well, if they really did do that then they wouldn't have allowed Bilderberg meetings audio recordings to be posted online. You can straight up listen to them.
Thank you for this initiative. American politics desperately need this, and you have a great plan to make it happen.
I talk about lobbying all the time and honestly some people DEFEND the practice!! Saying the government shouldn't be able to restrict private citizens donations... Such bs

@@calysagora3615 lol, another fucking moronic libertarian.
@@djmarie2058 it is the work around... don't know the date but sometime around the 70s the Supreme Court decided a Corp is an extension of the citizen owner and therefore are afforded the same rights. So walmart is the same as the waltons.. which is complete horseshit. Let the owner take income and use that to donate, not allow the Corp to do the donation... We've corrupted our own system
@@a1no1x Steve thought so, thank you very much for taking the time to clarify.
@@a1no1x People are incredibly stupid.
Here are my thoughts, let's make it about "We the People
1. End gerrymandering; create an independent bipartisan commission to redraw legislative and congressional districts.
2. Address length of terms and allow no elected official to serve more than eight years in office.
3. End campaign donations and PAC’s. Allow only public funding of elections.
4. Implement national automatic voter registration.
5. End two party dominance of our elections, implement national ranked choice voting.
6. End the Electoral College.
7. Reinstate the FCC’s Fairness Doctrine for all broadcasters.
8. Allow no exceptions or protections from laws for any elected official that applies to others.
9. End lobbying; remove special interest influence from our political process.
Bipartisans commissions are horrific. Let's use the shortest splitline method.
Instead of Ranked Choice Voting, use Proportional Representation
@@obiwankenobi4252 Proportional representation is awful because it can cause entire states (like Wyoming) to have no representative.
There are only about 300 representatives per party, and there are are only 500 000 people in Wyoming, and only 300 000 000 people in the United States, or only 150 000 000 people per major party. Wyomin has a only 1 out 300 people per party, and that's assuming all of Wyoming votes one party. 1/300 over 300 gives a straight probability of 1, which means it is very likely to not have a representative every so often.
District voting guarantees that the representative who represents a district actually come from the district, and have any credibility and legitimacy to represent them.
Wyoming Republicans are very different than Pennsylvania Republicans, and therefore are less able to Wyoming Republicans faithfully.
You can get away with list voting in small states, like Slovenia or Israel, but it becomes illegitimate in large states.
@@obiwankenobi4252 And proportional representation with half of the representatives elected like today, still faces issues of legitimacy for the list half, but it's a lot better.
I have much more effective, profitable and damage-reducing program to fix the problem, and with only ONE simple step. It's the same as with other forms of cancer, we just have to remove the ACTUAL problem and cause.
#1 Abolish governments.
Done.
@@calysagora3615 Abolishing government would only create a pet vacuum that would be immediately filed by the richest/strongest, but now with no checks on power or motivation to even pretend to work in the interests of the common people. Total anarchy simply does not work for any group larger than around 20 people maximum.
I get what you're saying (I used to consider myself a "minarchist" libertarian), but eventually I realized that, when done correctly, government isn't a force that works in opposition to the people - it's the instrument by which the people consolidate their power to act for the common good and protect themselves against oppression and totalitarianism.
We don't need or want to abolish governments. We need to get corruption under control so that government can work for us, rather than against.
Good luck from Scotland, guys!
Thanks. We fucking need it.

corporate media is fine. ask anyone under the age of 40 where they get their news from, and, a lot of the time, you'll hear social media as the answer. For some elderly folk, it's a lost cause; social media will only get stronger.
one major issue that is left unaddressed is that lawmakers themselves are "special interest groups". A politician could be bought, but a politician is certainly able to run on a fake campaign to implement special interests to his/her own liking. Until there is a culture of transparency in people running for office, special interests and big money will never disappear.

I’m wondering who disliked this video, politicians? 😆😆
And corporations
😂🤣
Requesting permission to put this video in its exact form up as a superball advertisement.
Did you mean Super Bowl?
Super Bowl commercials cost 10 million a minute, and we only need until 5:15, so so we would need to raise $52,500,000 to have it air once during the game.
So advertise to those evidently most prone to fall for bread and circuses shenanigans, that the solution to the problem is more of the problem? (government)
Brilliant... NOT. SMH.
Granted
Contact representus via their website via email or something so they might reply, theyd probably be happy to let u do that.
Other great things to put in superbowl ad slots include slaughter house footage, veganism promotion, and to try to
Convince gov to let everyone have an acre of free tax free fertile land to grow a food forest on and live on.
End farm subsidies. End tax
breaks to farms exsept those who grow healthy vegan food for human consumption exsept no large mono crops.
End mandatory school, ged and hsd requirements, age limits, minimum wage, and exsessive regs.
People should be able to learn how to do a good job they want so they can afford a house and car before 18.

Dont listen to idiots saying its a dumb idea, its a very good idea to use superbowl ad slots to influence alot of people and encourage them to do what u want. Many people already kno that its effective other wise people wouldnt pay so much for ad time.

if they did that it would cause riots and universal upheaval if they did try to get rid of it. it would be smarter to "buy" both winning sides like what is happening in Australia and oil/mining companies buying both major Parties. To my limited knowledge on US affairs they already do that, but they can only do so much because of how America is run/built. Or they just think they are safe enough and use that money to just buy more houses or use it to increase the companies wealth.
No they prefer to give you horrible candidates. Our list for 2024 is:

-A rich guy who has probably committed treason.
-A Florida man who will burn the constitution before treating queers like people.
-An antivaxxer riding on the coattails of his uncles presidency.
-And a rather shady background figure who’s possibly not qualified.

That's why some people [ironically] voted for Donald Trump, out of abhorring politicians bought by PACs and corporations. Frame the issue as of it is possible to be done soon and people latch onto it.
Morgan Quell I don't disagree with the sentiment, but we humans are short-sighted and self-centered. I don't mean that as a moral statement. Unless most people perceive a significant benefit to themselves, and relatively soon, they won't act, even if they know not acting is irrational.
3:22 everyone DOES agree we need to fix our corrupt system. The problem is, we do not agree with what exactly is corrupt about it, nor the necessary steps to correct it. If you can fix that problem it's smooth sailing.
We can agree that corporations however have got to stop in their tracks. Corporations are not people, their leaders are not the ones in charge. The board is the actual heart of a corporation, or at least what’s left of its heart. Strike at the board and it will crumble into pieces and can be replaced. Could corporations still exist? Possibly, but not without INCREDIBLY heavy surveillance not by the government, but by the public.

My good friend Adam was American and had a very libertarian mindset, and I don't think he believed in partisan labels and neither do I. He passed away in 2015 and he got really involved in politics while he was at university and watching this I thought 'man he would have loved this idea'. I became just about as interested in politics around the same time as him and we had amazing talks, and was one of my biggest motivators and inspirations for becoming more educated and aware. I know he would have shared this and pressured the change in his home state of Nevada. Hope this works out.

Hello from 2021 is this still going on right now? Have they’re been any victories for this act?
The issue is that all of the candidates who have run in the past, who actually wanted to end this, didn't get enough of a foothold in the political world. They weren't even given to the people as an option to vote for. Also, most people don't realize that this is an issue. It's not like it's being taught in the school system.

A lame duck President would do nicely
+JarJar Binks If it finally got to the President's desk, the law would probably get so much media attention that the President would be playing with fire to not sign the bill.
No it wouldn't. The 24 news networks are all corporate owned. Corporations who have shamelessly dumped cash on our representatives themselves. The media wont say a word about this bill until it's too big to ignore and then when they do speak of it it will be criticism. Want proof? Did you hear that the senate made a push to redo the tax code? Which would clean out all the lobbied in tax breaks and loop holes that have been inserted over the decades. They were even offered 50 years of identity protection so that corporations couldn't take revenge against anyone who voted for the bill. Never heard of that whole push? Because the only 24 news stations to cover it AT ALL were MSNBC and Fox News. Fox brought it up one single time for about 2 minutes and MSNBC brought it up one single time for... about thirty seconds!

Overturn recent Supreme Court rulings that rolled back decades of campaign finance laws.
+Eero Haapala The only way to "overturn" the Supreme Court is for either the Supreme Court to do it themselves, or for all of us to enact an amendment to the US constitution which specifically countermands the Supreme Court's ruling. Amending the constitution requires so much consensus that it's basically impossible in today's political climate. So that leaves the Supreme Court to over-rule itself, and the only way that will happen is if the sitting justices retire (or die) and are replaced.
Aaron Wolbach We need a Constitutional Amendment to get money out of politcs.
That won't help in a corrupt government. If the 2A can be violated so egregiously while being a contentious subject. How badly would your amendment be violated and ignored when vast majority of the politicians collaborate to that effect?
We need to clean house and reduce the size of the government drastically.
If you replace corrupt politicians with new politicians in a corrupt system, they too become corrupt. This was sadly not a good idea

Conservatives have a tendency to capitulate power to extremists, some shiny golden superheroe / fascist's in hard times when the state becomes corrupt and unresponsive. People become dissolutioned, alienated and disenfranchised.
We all do but unfortunately instead of addressing the tyranny, mass consolidation overreach and abuse of power. Exploitation, injustice erosion of Rights etc
Shoring up a truly free sovereign constitutional Democratic Republic of by and for the people with progressive policy and anti-corruption measures to shore up a clean establishment - elections, representation, parties, justice system, press, FDA etc
Our basic fundamental Rights
It all goes out the window once their radical superhero who promises to resolve everything/ extremists are in power. Essentially kicking the ladder away they ascended to keep it indefinitely. Ultimately that situation turns into a dictatorship. Far right populism is a gross farce that never serves the people and always ends in disaster. 💀
We see Republicans flirting with the idea of ending the democratic process openly more and more these days. Trump just spoke to shredding the constitution FFS.
Not all conservatives of course but sadly a good chunk of their base.
The wealthy elite class have a tendency to think they can play ball with these extremists and control them rather than giving into progressive policy, giving up any power. They absolutely don't want to be held accountable and stop their ability to exploit with impunity. These multinational corporations, big banks, foreign, religious and private dark money interests have a loooong, long history of manipulating and siding with far right extremists to do their dirty work.
Just looking at all the black ops coups they've been engaged in over the decades 💀
The failed business plot coup Smedly Butler blew the whistle on for instance. They've been hard at hijacking our establishment since we won our war of independence against the tyrannical crony theocratic Christian monarchy and the East India company. These dark money interests and extremists will never stop their assault. Like Aldous Huxley stated - The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
There's a lot of blind so called liberal establishment supporters who go along with it at everyone's peril. Turning a blind eye to the corruption settling for the lesser of two evils over and over again which fuel's the ratchet effect into fascism. Screwing over progressives constitutionalists. Something Malcolm X spoke to frequently.
We're fighting this shit on all sides and we have to come at this intelligently. If we come at it like a big reactionary unorganized violent mob that's completely divided it'd be over before it even began. We gotta reign in the dark money corruption and extremism.
Insure a clean establishment, our ability to impact hard policy.
Some transparency & oversight. That we can finally hold those in positions of power and authority accountable.
Restore critical trust. 🗝️
Balance ⚖️
An empowered citizenry
Then we can get back to left right agenda.
History is not on rails and we cannot afford to continue repeating the worst mistakes of the past. We can stop this slide before it goes off the rails.
It's far and away beyond left right party politics, rigged elections, some senator congressman or president. These are incredibly dangerous insane time's. A lot of people think what happened in Europe can't happen here but they'd be wrong.
Amendments like this are critical to a movement. It gives the whole thing clearity from beginning to end.
I don't put my faith in the establishment much these Days 💀
I put it squarely on all of us, we the people. To stand united when it matters most. To do what we should have done a long time ago.
Viva the nonpartisan anti-corruption movement
#RepresentUS
represent.us/our-wins/
Without a clean establishment and our basic fundamental Rights we all have absolutely nothing.
Keep that head up
Keep fighting for the changes you wish to see.
i would like to see the fine print of this anti corruption act first
Go read the act. Its short.
You can't have crony capitalism if you don't give bureaucrats the power to award favors in the form of tax and regulatory breaks to their favorite people and corporations.
Making government bigger and more powerful only increases crony-capitalism.
The only government that is responsive to the people is the government closest to the people.
TWO years have passed, how far has this gotten?
The 2 party system should be obsolete- let's open this thing up.
Be vegan Watch earthlings the movie its free on UA-cam.
Convince gov to let everyone have an acre of free tax free fertile land to grow a food forest on and live on.
End farm subsidies. End tax
breaks to farms exsept those who grow healthy vegan food for human consumption exsept no large mono crops.
End mandatory school, ged and hsd requirements, age limits, minimum wage, and exsessive regs.
People should be able to learn how to do a good job they want so they can afford a house and car before 18.
For those who and whos parents can afford it, tax deductible chairty and or the about 180,000dollars spent on k thru 12 per student could pay for it and trash k thru 12 and some of that money could be used to promote more independence and healthy living.
"Make corruption illegal"... I LIKE it! Thank you!

Everything about this country is sadly corrupted. The financial system being the most recent example with the gamestop frenzy.
Its a great start but the way that I see it is that at the end of the day, if our social systems work on a financial platform thats owned, there will always be an agenda being executed. So arguably, an underlying philosophical problem of this is that the means of human exchange has been filtered to materialist gain and loss. Which in my opinion is simply only part of the reality. There is so much science that exemplifies our social nature as humans, implicating that the ways in which we interact and effect each other are much more than transactions and pleasure.
almost 2 years and 250k views... sad, really sad...
1:51 I can't find the full text of the act. There is roughly 4 summarized pages under the tab "What's In The Act" and it dedicated a couple sentences to each issue. For instance it says:
"The Anti-Corruption Act ends gerrymandering by creating independent, fully transparent redistricting commissions that follow strict guidelines to ensure accurate representation for all voters, regardless of political party."
I'm all for this, and I understand that most people visiting the site won't want to look at the legalese, but where can I find those strict guidelines written by constitutional scholars?
Great video. But a massive question here. How can we unite all anti-corruption movements?
Recently we have the Democracy Spring, the Brand New Congress, and of course Cenk's Wolf-Pac to name a few. How do you coordinate with other movements to reach the same goal?
+Shny Fan We have to focus on one issue that is very important to EVERYONE no matter the other beliefs they have. From Black Lives Matter to organizations that want to legalize drugs to 9/11 truthers to those who think the war in Iraq was the greatest thing we ever did... we are ALL against corruption.
Unfortunately, people can't think long term. The plan that was explained in this video would work, but it would take decades at best to reach the federal level. People want swift solutions which ultimately lead to even more destabilization and deception.
+Jeffrey Lebowski
This is a long-term plan, yes, but it's more than doable, because they're concentrating on taking small steps toward achieving it, and each step (like passing an anti-corruption act in a city, or a state), is a real victory with positive effects that everyone would be able to see. We just need the persistence to keep doing it.
These videos deserve more views!
what if a member from the gov. watch this and tells there buddies to counter it?
*their (possessive)
Thats just part of life then, doesnt mean people should stay silent and not try. With enuf effort, even if some try to counter it, if the majority thinks its a good enuf idea and try to get it enacted it can happen.
How would we go about repairing this?
Aswell as having money-
How can we afford currency?
Share this video, please make it go viral! send it to your friends, family, co workers!. THE TIME STARTS NOW! AND IT BEGINS WITH YOU! TOGETHER! WE CAN CHANGE IT!.
Why change slavery? Why not just abolish it? Together we can ignore it out of existence by acting like free sovereign individuals!
I hope the best for this initiative.
1. make videos claiming you can fix things
2. monetize them
3. no one cares any ways they just want a cheeseburger and an ipad
I think you are needed in my country here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 where people can feel the corruption in their government... in America the people may be too comfortable to feel the corruption
i thought conservatives like the corruption in government and buying of politicians. since conservatives are against regulations and when a liberal brings up campaign finance reform they say "you're just against people getting rich". i need help understanding the right wing, conservative argument against money in politics
People like you is why we can't anything done.
CenseMusic
You’re an idiot.
1. Hire people with Integrity and have the nation's interest ahead of their own personal gain
2. Remove money and term limits
Two things that will *never* happen in the United States
Term limits is a good one.. these politicians
Make a career out of politics.. time
To end that and give others the opportunity to care for the country.
+Represent.Us You guys, i think should add a step 6 and this step should be ingraining this act in the constitution as the 28th amendment.
I have been hoping for that for at least a couple decades. There are so many social issues that need to be resolved. You want a country going in the right direction that is good for the long run for people to thrive. Please don't elect liars or demagogues. Even if you don't, it will take years to recover from those damages caused by that unindicted co-conspirator #1.
MAKE
THIS
HAPPEN
ASAP
Right. This worked so well in South Dakota.
You’re merely changing how lobbying works to make it more difficult for corruption to exist.
Lobbying must completely end.
No, lobbying isnt always nessicarily bad. Anyone can lobby and there are unpaid volenteer lobbyists who lobby for good causes and dont give politicans gifts or money or job offers to try to like bribe them. The problem is when politicians or gov workers do things just cuz they r like bribed to or do what whoever pays them the most wants, acting like puppets for big banks and big bussiness. Thus getting money out of politics is what some try to do.
we all have the power to make change 👏
Donald trump is proof we can do something about it
Trump was a freak accident because they got overconfident with Hillary's chances of winning.
An anti-establishment president like Trump will never be allowed to run again or will systematically be culled in the primaries.
@@Gigatony74 Only if we keep silent, but if the American people as unlikely as it is can stand together to conserve America's core values, then we can do something about it and vote more people like trump in, as well as have more people like trump running for public offices.
When you realize if they don’t listen you can just kill them all…. :)
So we need a third position not two party system
We can do this! Let's all join in and start with our local and then state level.
end the federal reserve
this video said there was an anti-corruption act passed in 2014 I don't see it being enacted so it doesn't give me much faith
And they try to devide us with race lol
A corporation’s “Diversity chief” is code word for “lobbyist”. www.techdirt.com/articles/20150718/07083431681/comcast-really-wants-me-to-stop-calling-their-top-lobbyist-top-lobbyist.shtml
*divide
What about simply introducing more direct democracy? If the people get to decide on a topic by themselves, there is no way there can be a sneaky workaround to influence any politician.
Eselyx I feel that the states should basically govern them selfs as well as having all the people of the state vote on all issues . This will be effective because these policys, new laws, all other issues are things that will make everyones lifes better . true power of the people . This will end the broken corrupt role of the state senator that is supposed to work for all of the states people , who has no real idea of what issues burdens our lifes , ends the corruption issues .
on November 8th, corruption finally lost.
still believe that?
harrythedirector that's what the people in charge want you to believe and nothing more. All puppets.
BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Im sharing this link everywhere it is needed
It is high time for the people to unite, organize and regain power over the government of the people by the people for the people, to judge biased judges, investigate those who have abused their position of power, the traitors, the corrupt and punish them appropriately.
This country is fucked. Completely doomed. So much for all those beautiful words we thought meant something.
Wow you fellas have just earned themselves a subscriber even though I am in 8th grade I will still find a way to help

9 years later and i wish the act was working. I don't believe so.
As a non US citizen, one might think, "Well, how can we do anything to help here?". I suppose the 'least' you can do is click the like button on this video to raise it to the top of UA-cam's trending list, and hopefully become something that the mainstream American public then becomes aware of. Or, at the very least, get an appearance on Ellen...
Even though im too young to vote I will help spread the word
I wish in the Philippines will implement this law, to have better and institutionalized constitution in the Philippines to eliminate the corrupt politicians.
Good idea but itll never happen as, you mentioned before, the voters cant decide, only the corporations, you are already fucked.
The real problem is inside all of us ....the moment we learn that egos are not the REAL YOU ....and know that your the same conciusness as mine then youll do the right thing AUTOMATICALLY
I agree and discuss the Corruption with people all the time. They all know that Corruption exist but then they go back to their comfy little homes and tell themselves that there's nothing they can do or you can't fight city hall.
So how do WE get people to believe that they can do something about the Corruption? How do we get them out of their comfort zone?
