I'd like to meet:
Welcome
Hey everyone and welcome to the Clean Money Crew myspace page. We here are working to clean up politics in support of Clean Money, the next step in Civil Rights.
As tracks records show, our politicians are not voting in the interersts of the majorities in the districts, a precondition for a truely representative Democracy.
Instead, statistics are show that it is the interest of the big mighty dollar that is weighing in agains't our votes.
What we here are working toward is a novel public financing solution that is working great in 7 states and various cities, the Clean Money public financing solution.
Clean Money legislation provides a mechanism whereby politics can run for office and instead of depending on large campaign contributions from special interest groups to finance their campaign, can collect nominal donations ($5 dollar range) and signatures from people in their district to qualify to receive public funds to run their campaign.
A Cleanly Elected Candidate spends his/her time meeting and greeting his constituents instead of fundraising, generally from people of high affluence, and as a result he/she has a broader understanding of the issues important to those he/she represents.
As a Cleanly elected official accepted no large contributions in his election campaign he owes allegiance to no one and can act in the best interest of the people he/she represents.
As I said, it is working statewide in 7 states right now and showing great results. Already more woman and minorites are getting elected into office. This is the next step in the civil rights movement, political equality.
In existing Clean Money systems nationwide the cost was between two and six dollars per person per year. A small amount to pay for a truly representative government.
There are numerous Clean Money bills being worked on acroos the country.
Here in California we have the AB583 statewide and numerous citwide efforts.
The California Clean Money Campaign is a great resource out here. Nationwide, Common Cause and Public Campaign are great resources.
Also nationwide, at a college campus near you there is a nationwide youth movement, Democracy Matters.
Your voice counts and make it heard, join the cause, write your legislators, and pass on the word.
Sincerely,
CCMC

Hey all, had the fortune of watching George Washingtons boy last night. A play at LAVC.
If you haven't seen it yet you should check it out.
It talks of the dichotomy of George Washington and the colonists fighting for Freedom yet at the same time having slaves.
Very passionate, driven piece and very resident still today.
While we don't have a Stamp Act, we do face a similiarity of Taxation without representation today.
Students and Working poor ( and especially illegal immigrants) are cut out of the political process. I guess one could argue because we are poor ( and pay less taxes) that we should have a porportionate representation, but I personally think that although we may not generate the same tax revenue we still work our asses off for this country doing jobs that NEED to get done, the underbelly support staff of this great nation, or the new slave class if you will, and should have equal representation.
The underbelly of this notion being the idea that if you work hard in this country you have an equal chance to succeed in life (The American Dream). Now that is in theory very possible given a well funded education and healthcare. system but
A) where is all our money going?
and
B) how can we get big money out of politics and people back in?

Hey, I just thought I'd shout out how important Clean Money really is. Corporate globalism is displacing indigenous culture all around the world including here in America where out culture is largly owned by big corporations under dracon copyright laws which have as a trend been extended over the years in favor of the established big copyright owners. Check out "The fourth world war" which shows the effects of such corporate globalism on a wide scale.
Check it out here
Lastly, how do these companies maintain their stranghold on humanity?
Corrupt Politics/Governments..
Clean Money is a must for any real progressive change in the world..
Peace - IAN (Yitz)
