The Green Party of New York State criticized New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo today for his flawed efforts to reduce public corruption in New York State by establishing the Moreland Commission. The Green Party noted that not one of the commissioners appointed to investigate and recommend reforms has ever advocated the “Clean Money” system of full public financing, which the Green Party advocates. In the Clean Money states of Arizona and Maine, candidates qualify for equal public campaign grants by raising a reasonable number of $5 contributions from voters in their district to demonstrate support. The grant is sufficient to get the candidate’s message to all voters. Candidates who opt for public money may not raise and spend private money. They only use clean public money.
Move to Amend Brookhaven is working towards the goal of adding a 28th amendment to the US Constitution. The new amendment would counteract the Supreme Court’s “Citizen’s United” decision, and assert that money is not the same as “free speech”.
Occupy Wall Street folks will be demonstrating in support of the 4th Amendment, on this 4th of July, in New York City (and other cities around the nation).
