October 6, 2011Prof. Lawrence Lessig joins the Dylan Ratigan Show to offer some suggestions on our proposed amendment.
Dylan Ratigan Mad as Hell His Epic Network Moment We've got a real problem...this is a mathematical fact. Tens of trillions of dollars are being extracted from the United States of America.
Im Mad As Hell How About You Yesterday, on TV, I exploded. I spent two minutes giving a primal yell at our political system, demanding the extraction of our money and dignity end. It was my most heartfelt and emotional moment on television, ever.

Americas Mad as Hell Moment I'm mad as hell. And according to the piles and piles of responses I got after my rant, so are you. This is not a joke, trillions are being extracted from our economy by greedy bastards. And if we don't fix this problem, then we'll end up see
Thanks for the work you are doing but can we toss a little gratitude Randi Rhodes way. She has been honking this particular horn for years. She is a brilliant and insightful woman who also deserves our thanks!
So, will Lessig vote for Obama again? Or, will he fight the system by NOT voting for a monied candidate in 2012? Too bad the question wasn't asked!
What is happening now was well underway on Wall Street and Washington since Lessig was in knickers. And NOW he gets it? Sheesh!
This is what Harvard is full of — serious people who have their heads up their schwingschwangs or have a pecuniary interest in a point of view.

thanks for trying to do something. congress is not even looking at the lack of jobs problem.
thank you for making good noises about our lawmakers who have been purchased by lobbyests.
Time to face the music armed with this great inofrmaiotn.
Money is not the problem, it is the megaphone. The entity with the biggest megaphone usually wins the election. And speaking in favor of a candidate is protected by First Amendment. Sorry, try another draft.
Jimmy Carter was recently interviewed and he said that in his campaign against Ronald Reagan there was no money from PACS or private contributors, all the money came from the funds provided by the money we designate to fund campaigns on our Income Tax. It is time to go back to the future.
A: Jimmy never said that, because it isn't true. You clearly misunderstood.
B. It's a good idea to have the campaigns funded that way. I wish it was true.
I think the angst we share and exhibit through the Occupy protest is rooted in the frustration that money has a larger influence on government than the voter. Petition and Advocate for Public Financing of Political Campaigns. We OWN the airwaves and should co-opt them during Election Cycles.
How can the removal of the "Pay to Play" lobbyists playground that our government has become be changed when it's the ones who stand the most to lose that are voting to change it. How can there be a total flush-out of the governmental cesspool?
