Quotes by Wendell Potter (?)

“If we don’t enact sweeping campaign finance reform we will never see progress on the major issues facing our country… as the special interests and powerful lobbies will continue to get their way, crowding out the desires, hopes, and dreams of the American people.”
― Wendell Potter, Nation on the Take: How Big Money Corrupts Our Democracy and What We Can Do About It

“There are maybe a hundred thousand political power brokers in this country who are truly invested in the perpetuation of a coin-operated government. They see no problem with it. They are unabashed in their participation in it. They figure that’s how the world works…. We, the other 99.7%, have to push aside our cynicism and exhaustion and join with others from all walks of life to create a new, surprising, mighty reform moment in history.

Just as we won our right to self-government by fighting the British monarchy more than 240 years ago, we will lose it if we fail to fight to reclaim it now.”
