Lawrence Lessig Keynote on Citizens United Decision @ For the People Summit

More American people supported the British Empire at the time of the American Revolution than believe in the Congress of the USA today. There is a real difference between the Left and Right in America, but we have a common enemy ... Money. Money is a tool, and tools in themselves are not bad or good, but money in the wrong hands, money used badly, can and should be prevented. We must restore all political influence to the PEOPLE of the USA. Recognize the corruption in our democracy, and build a coalition for progress, and replace today's legal financial influence in our political system with a simple campaign finance system that uses YOUR money to fund YOUR Party, and eliminates any corporate influence in our political speech.



We must wage a war against 'Fat-Cats'. We must convince a reluctant nation to wage that civil-war against the wealthy who believe themselves privileged of our nation ... so that this republic government of the People, by the People, for the People, does not perish from the earth.
