Thanks to @Lessig for a great Citizen Campaign Call. As president, one of my first acts will be sending a proposal to Congress to establish public funding for federal campaigns. The only way to return our government to the people is to stop the corrupting influence of dark money.

Sorry, I do not want the government deciding where & to whose campaign my taxes go to. However, I do indeed want to get dark money out of politics & will listen to your phone call tonight at 5 Eastern about this subject. w @lessig. Your homepage on website has no info to share

Great call today. @lessig was incredibly informative! I'm excited to learn more about equalcitizens.us and I was inspired by your support for public campaign finance reform. I'm not sure if you ever heard of Granny D, but she would have been proud. web.archive.org/web/20080127…

Yes, but the only way 2 achieve this turn around is through a #Constitutional #Amendment4 change 2 overturn #CitizensUnited & #ImpeachTrump appointed #SCOTUS judges. This requires the concerned party 2 control 75% of the senate & a #StraightBlueTicket campaign. #Ready2FightBack ?

I believe you are on your way, Marianne!

The only way to stop dark money is to abandon government money based on debt and adopt people’s money based on math. Bring it on #BitCoin

I think you are a good person, but there is absolutely no way you will win the primary - nor should you. You have ZERO experience for the highest job in the country...I know #DontheCon has set the bar really low but curious about why you are running ~ maybe start locally??

My takeaway from this call is that we must ask candidates their stance on PUBLIC FUNDING FOR POLITICAL (CONGRESSIONAL) CAMPAIGNS. The next POTUS, perhaps Marianne, can propose/pass legislation to remove #DarkMoney . It's that simple per Prof. Lessig, (whose book I should read!)

#DarkMoney I went to Youtube to see if tonight's Citizen Campaign Call was posted yet. (Not yet). But I found this instead from 2015: youtube.com/watch?v=LVnkMpAT…
