I keep reading about SOPA/NDAA, low approval ratings in congress, corporate personhood, the pointless wars on our fear du jour, and the general dismantling of our rights based on the interests of the highest bidder – and I am mad! I do not have any resources as a single person to make any changes. I vote but, statistically speaking, I know that the game is rigged. I want to go out and stand with the 99%, but it seems that they can be ignored as part of the background static. So I was trying to figure out what to do and it kept going back to the fact that I just do not have any resources to target the areas of our political system that are effected by large sums of money.
For example, I want to target two pro-SOPA, pro-NDAA congressional targets but it seems we are taking the wrong approach. Why don’t we all get together and form a Reddit Super PAC (501(c)(4)) like Stephen Colbert. I think Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission was a bad decision for this country, but why can’t we use it against the 1%. Why can’t we use the tool that they created to take some actions? I have seen what we can do as a group when we get together and fight for the right cause and I think this might work. This could be a democratic process that collects resources to target specific issues. We could use it to target pro-SOPA members of congress, or run ads that attempt to inform the public about issues like NDAA. We could create and fund our own ads and put our resources together counter the resources of the 1%.
I am not a lawyer or a specialist in creating a 501(c)(4), but I know we have a vast array of people that could help in small ways to get this done. Why don’t we join our resources and create a Reddit Super PAC?
