Forum Post: Address the Root Cause - We need Campaign Finance Reform as THE goal of the Protests!!!!!

I can see from other posts that more and more people are starting to catch on to the root of the problem. Right now our politicians, both on the Right and Left, are bought and paid for by the corporations and other special interests. Our political system has been high-jacked by the legalized bribery that is currently allowed. We need to get the money out of our politics!! The main goal of these protests needs to be real, iron-clad, loop-hole free CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM!!! Without it the chance of achieving meaningful reform of the other issues is almost zero. I see a lot of people upset about the myriad problems our country is facing, but I'm not sure they are seeing the causal relationship between the influence of corporate money and the problems their facing.
In almost every case you can trace the problem back to our compromised political system which has allowed the rich and powerful to dictate policy to slant the rules/regulations in order to enrich themselves. We need to get the money out if we ever want our "representatives" to ever really represent the will and best interests of the American people again. Spread the word - the main goal of the protests should be CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM. If we can achieve it, then the other reforms that real Americans want have a chance of happening.
