Where do you go to study up on Campaign Finance Reform?
I want to learn what proposals or progress there has been since McCain Fiengold.

I think any progressive or revolutionary needs serious focus going forward. We need to realize how deeply conservative and beholden our Legislators and Lords are, and realize that we are not going to get the progress we want on anything unless we FOCUS on campaign finance reform. Every little issue or development is merely an epiphenomena in this country and its discourse.

2. Why should the body in power change the rules
that currently benefit them?

We need to unseat enough incumbents so not a single congress critter ever thinks their seat is safe - then we can make some real progress.

3. Bill Moyers. This he calls the most important fight of our lifetime.
You'll have to Google for it, but I'm sure he has a site that goes all into the why's and how's and what to do's.
