This video by Robert Reich* recently came to my attention. In 3 minutes, it provides the premiere example of how big money endangers democracy.

It's an easy way to get informed about this important issue. You might want to take a look at Reich's YouTube videos on other topics such as raising the minimum wage, too.

About Me
- Getting Informed and Involved
- I created my first blog Involved Voters in July 2008 while living in SE Michigan to inform local voters and support Democratic candidates. I currently live in New Jersey, having recently moved from 5 years in California. A couple of years ago I shifted the emphasis of the blog to focus on educating Involved Voters about reforming the US financial system and getting big money out of politics. With the election of Donald Trump as POTUS, I decided to create a second blog for the purpose of holding his administration accountable.
