Default The Mayday SuperPAC raised $1M in 13 days

Here's something interesting that should appeal to anyone interested in American politics. This is 100% a non-partisan issue.

http://mayone.us/

The Mayday SuperPAC was started by Lawrence Lessig as a "moonshot" to fight against the corrupting influence of our campaign finance system, which is a thinly-veiled system of bribery. The idea is to raise money to fund politicians who are willing to make corruption an issue and work towards a statute that prevents so few people having so much influence on the government.

If you have 18 minutes, here's Lessig's great TED talk that explains the problem. Definitely worth your time.

http://www.ted.com/talks/lawrence_le...e_must_reclaim

This movement does not resonate well with either of the major parties, whose business model involves emphasizing and exaggerating the differences between Americans. Over 90% of Americans agree that money in politics is a huge issue, and yet we never hear about it from either Democrats or Republicans. Hmmmm, why is that?

Anyway, on May 1st the Mayday PAC launched, with a goal of raising $1M in one month. It only took 13 days. The money is coming from individuals like us. It's a really impressive feat and it's proof that this is an issue people feel strongly about.

Will it work? I don't know. I sure hope so!

Can't see the established political system going along with that.
It's much needed though.

Iffy is a psychiatrist? Who knew? But it is nice to know that after all this time, our Dipshit Leader, AssupRidee, DEM, DOTY 2013-2015, is finally seeking the help he so desperately needs!

It's so sweet of you to WK for AssupRidee, DEM, DOTY 2013-2014, and LittleEva, CBJ7. Now Assup can probably take care of himself, but poor, mentally-challenged LittleEva needs all he can get. You don't help much, but I'm sure LittleEva appreciates it!

All things considered, Hanoi COG is the only Dipshit stupid enough to start a Dipshit of the Year thread and nominate himself as a leading contender.

It demonstrated a textbook example of Extreme Self Reflection!

So you're the second biggest dipshit on the site?

If it makes you feel any better you'll always be the number one dipshit to me.

Now empty your colostomy bag in the toilet, not the kitchen sink.
