Randi & Dylan have both been focused on this subject for years now: how can we tackle so many of the smaller problems in politics if we don't get money out of politics first? Their discussion is here. Alone, each of us is nearly useless in tackling the problem of how money has corrupted our political system. TOGETHER, we can make a difference. That's why you need to sign the petition for a constitutional amendment at GetMoneyOut.com Both Randi and Dylan have seen the corruption firsthand, from K Street in DC to Wall Street in New York. Ninety-four percent of the time, the winner in major U.S. Congressional elections is whomever has the MOST money in their campaign coffers - and THAT MUST STOP. Listen to Randi and Dylan's complete interview, so you can find out what this Amendment could do. Then SIGN IT. Then tell your friends. Use Facebook. Use Google+. Tweet it - and use the hashtag: #GetMoneyOut It's time to Get Money Out of politics in America.
