Clearly you have a hard time grasping “organization” and even lesser understanding of money is king.

Nozferatu said: “If even 40$ of the people in this country donated a mere $20 each,...”

That would mean you had two people who gave $20 each. Nozferatu continues:

...,we’d be able to completely obliterate the lobbyists for these campaigns or oil company crooks, etc….

Who exactly they gave the 40$ to is unclear. What the person who took the 40$ is going to do with it is hazy. How it will obliterate anything is unknown.

If the crooks can make secretive contributions to make buy off the people who work for them, then so can the general public.

If people only realized how much power they really have monetarily.

If even 40$ of the people in this country donated a mere $20 each, we’d be able to completely obliterate the lobbyists for these campaigns or oil company crooks, etc….

No will, no success…end of story.

As of now, even the facades of the concepts of ‘Democracy’ and ‘The Value of YOUR Vote’, are dead.

It would be interesting to determine how much TARP and ‘Bail Out’ money has ended up in the political coffers of the US Chamber of Commerce and it’s members. And whether the Wall Street and lesser moguls and their firms take a ‘brokerage’ fee or charge ‘interest’ on the money they secretly donate.

It will not surprise when the scandal breaks that Lil’ Timmy Geithner has been looting the US Treasury to make secret billion-dollar ‘contributions’ to the GOPer/TP party…which party, of course, favors looting the US Treasury. Up to now, they’ve been mainly doing it with massive tax breaks for themselves and their owners.

But this direct raiding of the vaults opens a whole new ball game. I sure hope they catch Lil’ Timmy soon. It would do US good to watch him make a ‘perp’ walk (he’s a ‘perp’ if ever there was one), and maybe spend a night in detention.

Memorable quote from the article:

“Obama is considering an executive order that could undercut these predictions (of elections for sale)and reduce secrecy. It would mandate disclosure of political contributions over $5,000 a year by any company vying for a federal contract, according to a draft reviewed by Bloomberg News. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which collects secret money for political ads, has vowed to fight it.”

It’s only a small start, but better than nothing.
Campaign Finance Reform—the sooner, the better.
