Getting a Grip on Money and Politics
We love this new web-doc we found on Quantum Shift TV, and we think you will too. In just under nine minutes, renowned author Frances Moore Lappé examines campaign finance reform through the eyes of Deborah Simpson, a smart, civic-minded former waitress and single mother who ran for a seat in Maine’s legislature under that state’s Clean Election law, and won! Comments by everyday Americans despairing over our Big Money-dominated political system are juxtaposed with Simpson’s inspirational story.
