Money is the only criteria for legislation these days. In the last Federal Spending Bill, not only did someone insert a regulation-defeating amendment written by Citibank, but they also increased the amount of money one individual can donate to a political party in a given year to $324,000 - a 10x increase. The only way to fix this is from within. So Im taking my shot. Im running for Governor because if I get elected, the vicious cycle of influence money in politics grinds to a halt. Corporations are remarkably predictable - they wont spend money on politics unless it has a chance of creating a beneficial return. Why would any corporation spend money on legislation in a state where they cant buy the Governor? The game would be completely disrupted. So thats what this is about - trying something new. And proving that normal people can run for elected office and win. If one million people can call the FCC and back Net Neutrality, surely I have a chance. The best part is, win or lose, Im going to help produce the blueprint to allow other people to run for office and win without party support. Give em Hell Drew!
