- Proposed statement, directed at media organizations:
- "Public campaign finance is the only way to get lobbying money out of Congress and restore its integrity. Congresspeople have to spend 85% of their time fundraising, up from 70% before Citizens United v. FEC because the candidate spending the most money wins 94% of the time. So please ask your CEO, [publisher,] and board to support appropriating e.g. $10 million campaign funds to the top two contenders six months before federal elections. The resulting campaign advertisements will directly benefit your company and indirectly benefit everyone."
- The Rootstrikers organization is active on these issues, with a recently redesigned web site.
I'd just like to remind all: if you oppose SOPA, you should oppose CISPA. It's much worse. If wikipedia can stop one law, it can stop another. --HectorMoffet (talk) 13:08, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
