A: I answered yes because all the major issues we face now always come back to the money used for power, influence and takeover. ALEC, and all it’s members, are the enemy we face. They are responsible for over 890+ canned bills they’ve written and peddled to every statehouse in the nation. ALEC is NOT bipartisan, as it has only had 9 Democrat members and all the rest (thousands) are GOP. Since mainstream media is also bought & paid for and is not talking about any of these issues we need to find ways to make the general public both aware and knowledgeable on the subject of ALEC, the Koch brothers and Citizen’s United and how they are working diligently to destroy our democracy.
Your Opinion, Please
Has our country reached a tipping point where those who have more money (speech) are now an unstoppable force in American politics?
Since 2010 the Coffee Party USA path has included identifying and advocating for legislative fixes to reform campaign finance laws, Wall Street regulations, and the tax code.
Three years of post Citizen United governance has made it clear that there is a need to shift our focus to campaign finance reform.
We must fight the super-minority of big money contributions and corporations with super-citizen rights to buy candidates with mega-donations.
Until our lawmakers are no longer influenced by fear marketing, lobbyists, and “helpful” self-interest groups who all tempt them with employment after they leave office, our elected officials will look to funders rather than voters when legislative decisions are made.
Help us defeat POLITICS FOR PROFIT!
We will not abandon our call to “incite civility and reason”.
Do you agree that Money-in-Politics should be the primary focus for Coffee Party? Your opinion matters.
