On the CNN news website today, Julian Zelizer posted an opinion article
that raised very serious questions about the health of democracy in America because
of the influence of money. It’s hard not to feel a little apprehension after
reading it.
In the first paragraph, Mr. Zelizer identifies the problem and underlines
its seriousness. Throughout the article he
recalls the history of how we “got here.” He states what all of us know to be true based
on what we see happening around us.
It is the season to act!
We voters can do something about this problem. We can fix it one vote at a time (THINK THE POWER
OF ONE). Voting Alert Beacon #5 drives a
stake through the heart of special interests money, and their effect on our democracy.
It’s very simple! First we all
need to vote. Second, if we follow the basic
steps that the Voting Alert Beacons lay out in making our selections in the voting
booth, we can shut down the special interest money like a water faucet that doesn’t
leak.
Some would say that the Beacons are too simple. I would say that is the very reason why they will work
cleanly and effectively with dramatic effects.
Spread the word! Tell
your friends about the Voting Alert Beacons!
. . . remember that
America’s best days aren’t behind her. America’s best days are
ahead of her. They always have been and always will be.
