Money in Politics

The United States isn’t the only country on the globe that has institutionalized corruption in its government, but we have, by far, the most severe case of it.

As political activist David Cobb (Green Party candidate for president in 2004) said during a talk I attended: “You name something you want for the good of the American people, and I can give you one single reason why it’s impossible.”

Cobb is a huge proponent of a constitutional amendment that would overturn Citizens United, the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2010 decision that granted corporations the right to make unlimited donations to political candidates, disemboweling our democracy.
