America is a country ready to be taken - in fact, longing to be taken - by political leaders ready to restore democracy and trust to the political process.
corporate America corrupted the watchdogs that were supposed to be guarding the public interest by feeding them under the table.
The most effective means for restoring the integrity of our electoral process, and repairing the public's tattered faith in its elected representatives, is through the full public financing of political campigns. It's the mother of all reforms: the one reform that makes all other reforms possible. After all, he who pays the piper calls the tune.
