@DrALJONES I've watched the first two episodes of Dark Money. It's quite enlightening.
Interview: "Our country is being run by a small group of people who have an enormous amount of money, and they dominate our politics.
"It’s almost as if bribery has become utterly legalized."
An untraceable amount of money flows through nonprofits & super PACs to support candidates & influence political movements.

How can we get out the message that America and Americans could be so much better off by doing exactly the opposite of anything the Heritage Foundation recommends?
