great write up Denis, thank you.

"We have the most corrupt federal election under way since money became big in politics,"
Ok Sam. Any evidence of corruption to back your claims on an election that is just getting started? I guess it didn't bother you that non-US citizens were contributing to Obama in 2008 from the following countries: the Virgin Islands, Vienna, The Hague, Madrid, London, Geneva, Tokyo, Bangkok, Turin, Paris, Munich, Madrid, Roma, Zurich, Moscow, Milan, Singapore, Beijing, Switzerland, Toronto, Vancouver, Dublin, Panama, Berlin, Geneva, Buenos Aires, Prague, Nagoya, Budapest, Barcelona, Sweden, Taipei, Hong Kong, Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, Zurich, Ragusa, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Uganda, Mumbai, Tunis, Zacatecas, St. Croix, Mississauga, Lima, Copenhagen, Dubai, Jeddah, Kabul, Cairo, and many others.

"The fact that hundreds of millions of dollars in corporate spending can happen without a fingerprint... I don't think our forefathers and foremothers ever intended that."
It is appalling how corporations like SEIU, AFL-CIO, OEA, AFT and other our buying our politicians. I sure hope you haven't taken any money from them.

By the way Sam, how is Portland's "voter own election" system going?
