As you may be aware of, here in the states we had the #occupywallstreet movement that spawned similar movements worldwide. It was my hope that they would have made campaign finance reform central to their cause and the eradication of corporate interests being able to legally sway policy makers etc. How to do this? I'm not exactly sure. Easier said than done, but hopefully in 2014 the OWS movement or another movement can be more deliberate in their cause and get $ out of politics. -Idealistic? Yes. But with the advent of the Internet, mobilizing people is easier than ever. I remain hopeful.
