Occupy Democracy

Submitted by John Papagiannis on Tue, 10/04/2011 - 18:40

Public Campaign Action Fund (PCAF) issued a statement today on the growing Occupy Wall Street movement, which is now spreading all over the country.

From the PCAF statement: "That’s why we stand in solidarity with those participating in Occupy Wall Street. We need a democracy that works for all Americans—not just for the Wall Street CEOs who can write big checks to politicians. We need a democracy that rebuilds the American dream and works for the 99 percent of us who can’t afford to make large campaign contributions."

We need an "occupied democracy" that prizes constituents and conscience over campaign donors, encourages--not obstructs voting, and isn't drowned out by corporate money.
