My reaction to what else could be done with our $84 million is the same. WE need that money for our communities and our progressive causes too — like labor support, environmental protection and research, progressive research and lobbying for human rights, and throw in improved child care while we’re at it, and so on. Obama’s decision was infuriating to me — it was a THEFT, stealing from the people and especially the Left!

And for what? All that money will go to his pals in the corporations through all the media ad buys during the election campaign. Right back into the pockets of the Power Elite. What a rip off!

This is a two-for for the Power Elite: 1) More money for them via the campaign spending and 2) Less money getting spent in direct opposition to corporate ways and stranglehold on government and our communities!

Thanks for your post and a place to vent….
