Trying To Out PAC the PACs; May Day at Harvard

SOMETHING COOL is always happening at Harvard University. A new Political action Committee has been formed by members of the political science faculty. Its called the "May Day" PAC, presumably because one must have a name for one's political action committee, and because the purpose of this one is to save America from itself, which is really often what Harvard, and other quality institutions, are attempting to accomplish. Because of the Supreme Court decision in 2010 which declared that corporations have the right to donate unlimited amounts of money to political campaigns, unlimited amounts of corporate money have since been buying political offices for candidates who accept corporate money, and pledge their loyalty to corporate interests in return. More than ever, the American political system is one in which power is purchased, rather than earned through fair elections. Power in America has always belonged t the wealthy elite; now, this is more true than ever. The purpose of the Harvard PAC will be to purchase media access to lobby for political campaign finance reform, something that will take the money, or at least the big money, out of politics, and replace it with the input of the average American citizen. Good luck with that; they'll need it.
