Part 2 of 2 Link to part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POY-4YHPUBI Currently we are in a situation where out of control corporate power and influence is controlling our government. As American's we know it is our inalienable right to have proper representation and due influence on our elected representatives. Corporations have no such right at all. It is the true citizens that make this nation, not the moneyed corporations that fuel the corrupt politician's coffers. This video about educating people about the true role of corporate powers, we are not subservient to them, their charter is in fact a privilege granted by the people to conduct a common good. They are the servants, the people are the masters. After you watch my video please take a look at these essential links: Economy in Crisis: http://www.economyincrisis.org/ Reclaim Democracy: http://reclaimdemocracy.org/ Thanks for watching my videos, please leave a comment or send a message with any suggestions.

A well done video with excellent facts. If we elect any CFR member candidate, Dem or Rep, say hello to the North American Union and bye bye to God given Rights and our national sovereignty. As for me, I'm voting for Ron Paul.

yea i can guarantee most people wont like that Kucinich Gravel and Paul are the only candidates worth electing, but since they get no publicity the media's sheeple dont like them and say "they are not popular enough", its funny i think.

I am not on the corporations side, but you are missing a fundemental element of our democracy-pluralism. Pluralist democracy is the type of democracy that interest groups, corporations under PAC's, and (if you want to call it this) elitism.

(con't) is used to fight for thier interests. Pluralism is when people want to organise for either an ideological interest (such as Christian Coalition) a labour interest (such as AFL-CIO) or another interest.

The founding fathers created this gov't in such a way as it would promote the pluralist agenda over the majoritarian (although characteristics of both types of democracy exist in a large quantity in our gov't). If we lived off of the majoritarian interest solely, we would be living in a "christian nation" with evolution outlawed and who knows what else. With pluralism we can be sure that minorities can get thier voices heard (which is a good thing (gays) and a bad thing (corporate neocons)).

Citizen groups do have the inalienable right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Corporations are not citizens, they do not have this right. A corporation is a privilege granted to a few citizens to do a task within the confines of not doing any harm to the USA. Or simply: bribery bad, petition good ;)

Yes, in fact, the candidates are not ranked by the issues they support...but by the money they raise. If you haven't received enough bribes you are unelectable? LOL Dennis Kucinich has never taken a dime of corporate money in 20 years of service and the Ron Paul money bombs show the power of the people in action. Its also important to note, that money raised goes right to Big Media when buying that expensive air time for ads. So they support the most corrupt.

Bribery is bad, but corporations use the interest groups for very rotten reasons (but valid ones, as I would like interest groups I support to have the same rights). They use them to educate representatives and represent a group with common interests and goals. I believe that campaign contributions from corporations are a better form of bribery, but I would need to see how interest groups and contributions have been used in PRACTICE, not just theory.
