Dark Money Discussion with Indivisible


Last night, Indivisible of East Manatee County presented an informative evening about  Dark Money. Barbara Somma kicked off with a grand tour of Jane Mayer's excellent book of the same name, Dark Money. Barbara explained the systematic efforts by Charles and David Koch to fundamentally alter the U.S. political system. She also researched the Koch Brothers local donation to the Poynter Institute. Jaime Canfield followed with a description of the local and national Move To Amend efforts. Jaime detailed the work toward a 28th Constitutional Amendment which would abolish the concept that money equals speech, as well as corporate constitutional rights. Click to watch the video above.
