Letter: Look for the truth, follow the money

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 29, 2010 - 12:18pm

Icon:

This election is about The Poor vs. The Rich, Main Street vs. Wall Street, and Bigotry vs. Justice. I want to stand with the poor, local economies and to fight against racism, Islamophobia, and sexual discrimination. That gives me a straight Democratic ticket.

Unfortunately, this election is being fought with negative campaign ads that are outright lies, paid for by un-sourced and unlimited money. Why not just give up Democracy and let the top thousand richest people make the decisions? Sadly, that's kind of how it is already.
