How the Elites Turned on Americans Fighting Against Corruption

I TOLD YOU COMMON CAUSE FOUGHT AGAINST WOLF-PAC.COM IN
NEW MEXICO, WOLF PAC VOLUNTEERS WON A HISTORIC FIGHT IN THE NEW
MEXICO SENATE, WE GOT MOST OF THE DEMOCRATS AND SOME
REPUBLICANS TO VOTE WITH US BECAUSE OVER 90% OF AMERICANS
WANT MONEY OUT OF POLITICS AND WOLF-PAC.COM ASKS THE STATES TO
CALL FOR A CONVENTION TO GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS, ALL WE
WANT IS FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS, FREE FROM THE CORRUPTING
INFLUENCE OF MONEY AND FAIR ENOUGH THAT ANYONE CAN RUN.
THE
ELITES IN WASHINGTON AREN'T HAPPY ABOUT THAT, THE RIGHT-WING
ISN'T HAPPY, THE KOCH BROTHERS FOUGHT US IN NEW JERSEY, THEY
TESTIFIED AGAINST US AND LOST, AND APPARENTLY SO-CALLED
LEFT-WING GROUPS IN DC LIKE COMMON CAUSE ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT
IT.
BUT I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE EFFECT OF WHAT HAPPENED, THESE
ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE, ALL VOLUNTEERS, THESE ARE ACTUAL
VOLUNTEERS IN NEW MEXICO, THEY GOT THE SENATE TO VOTE YES, AND
THEN GOT THE RUG PULLED OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THEM.
THEY ARE
WONDERFUL AND PLEASANT PEOPLE.
WHAT THEY DON'T TELL YOU AT THE
END IS THAT THEY DIDN'T GET A VOTE.
IT'S NOT THAT THEY RAN OUT
OF TIME, WE KNOW NOW FOR A FACT, AND LEGISLATORS IN NEW MEXICO
CONFIRMED IT FROM US, GROUPS LIKE COMMON CAUSE CAME IN AND
PREVENTED THE VOTE.
THEY HAD 20 OF TIME AND THEY SAID IF WE VOTE, WE WILL
LOSE, KILL IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
MEET THE PEOPLE FIGHTING FOR REAL CHANGE.
RESEARCH SCIENTISTS.
SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL.
GRAPHIC DESIGNER.
STUDENT.
FARMER.
THERE WAS A REASON WHY THE ABILITY TO CALL AN ARTICLE V
CONVENTION WAS PUT INTO THE CONSTITUTION, SO THE PEOPLE CAN
BE A CHECK AGAINST CONGRESS.
CONGRESS IS DOING WHAT THEY WANT
FOR THEIR DONORS, THEY AREN'T CONCERNED WITH WHAT THEIR
CONSTITUENTS WANT.
A CONGRESS THAT DOESN'T REPRESENT THE PEOPLE ANYMORE.
YOU CAN EITHER DO IT THROUGH CONGRESS OR THE STATES.
WE ARE TRYING TO DO IT THROUGH THE STATES.
THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE AND JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, AND THE
SENATE ITSELF, ALL THREE OF THOSE WE PASSED.
WE GOT IT THROUGH THE SENATE, THAT WAS INSPIRING.
WE HAD
PEOPLE VOLUNTEERING, TAKING TIME OFF OF WORK, DRIVING HOURS.
WE WORKED SO HARD DAY AND NIGHT.
WE SPOKE TO LEGISLATORS AND CHANGE THE MINDS.
LAST YEAR IT WAS EIGHT PEOPLE, THIS YEAR IT WAS 52.
ALMOST EVERY SEAT IN THAT COMMITTEE MEETING HAD A
WOLFPAC VOLUNTEER.
THE CHAIRMAN SAID STAND UP IF YOU ARE HERE FOR THE FREE
AND FAIR ELECTIONS ACT, THE WHOLE ROOM STOOD UP.
IT WAS A UNANIMOUS VOTE OF YES.
WE HAD TO STAY QUIET BECAUSE WE WERE IN THE SENATE, SO WE
DIDN'T CHEER OR ANYTHING BUT WE CHEERED ON THE INSIDE.
WE WERE
ALL HAPPY BUT THE FIRST THING WE DID WAS, WHAT IS NEXT?
PART OF THE REASON I KNOW WE ARE FOLLOWING THE RIGHT PATH IS
BECAUSE OF THE OPPOSITION, THE REASON THEY ARE FIGHTING US
IS BECAUSE WE ARE EFFECTIVE.
THE ACLU AND COMMON CAUSE ARE OUR BIG OPPONENTS.
THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE THE SYSTEM CHANGE, THEY DERIVE
THEIR POWER AND INCOME FROM IT.
THE HOUSE IS WHERE IT GOT STOPPED.
WHEN THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE GOT CANCELED AND WE
KNEW THAT OUR RESOLUTION WOULD NOT BE HEARD, IT WAS
DISAPPOINTING.
A LOT OF THE VOLUNTEERS HAD BEEN WORKING HARD ON THIS, SOME
PEOPLE FOR YEARS NOW.
THEY JUST SAID THERE WASN'T ENOUGH TIME, THEY CALLED IT
AND THEY HAD TO GO TO THE FLOOR.
THEY JUST RAN OUT THE CLOCK ON US AND WE DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE.
WE PUT OUR HEART AND SOUL INTO IT SO I WAS AFRAID IT WOULD
DESCEND INTO DISCOURAGEMENT AND DEPRESSION AND ANGER BUT IT
DIDN'T.
I FEEL LIKE WE ARE ALL A LITTLE SHELLSHOCKED AND TIRED
BUT WE ARE STILL MONITORING IT, WE WILL STILL BE THERE NEXT
YEAR, AND HAVING COME THIS CLOSE, WE ARE ALL JUST HAVING
COME THAT CLOSE MAKES US MORE [INAUDIBLE].
WE ACHIEVED A LEVEL OF POPULARITY IN THE SENATE.
WE MADE OUR PRESENCE KNOWN AGAIN AND EVERY YEAR THAT WE ARE
THERE IT BECOMES STRONGER.
THOUSANDS
OF PEOPLE ARE GIVING UP BECAUSE THEY DON'T THINK ANYTHING
CAN HAPPEN, THEY HAVE TO FIGHT FOR WHAT THEY THINK IS RIGHT.
WE WON'T GIVE UP.
WE ARE GAINING MOMENTUM, THE TIME TO JOIN IS NOW.
I LOVE THESE GUYS.
THEY PUT THEIR HEART AND SOUL INTO IT AND
TO HAVE IT GET PULLED OUT FROM UNDER THEM AT THE LAST MOMENT,
DISCOURAGING, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS A SO-CALLED
PROGRESSIVE GROUP DOING IT.
THEY MENTIONED THE ACLU BRIEFLY, YOU
MIGHT BE SURPRISED BY THIS, THEY ARE PRO-CITIZENS UNITED.
BUT IT
IS NOT A BIG ISSUE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THEY ARE ONLY IN A
LIMITED NUMBER OF STATES, IT IS COMMON CAUSE THAT IS FIGHTING US
IN EVERY STATE, COMMON CAUSE USES THEIR LOBBYISTS, COMMON
CAUSE ENDS THE VOTES, IT'S COMMON CAUSE THAT DOESN'T WANT A
CONVENTION AND DOESN'T WANT REAL CHANGE IN AMERICA.
IT'S COMMON
CAUSE THE CLAIMS THEY ARE FORGETTING MONEY OUT OF POLITICS
BUT WHILE YOU ARE NOT LOOKING FIGHTS FOR MONEY IN POLITICS.
I'M ASKING YOU TO SIGN THIS PETITION, I WILL NEVER SUPPORT
ORGANIZATIONS LIKE COMMON CAUSE THAT FIGHT AGAINST A CONVENTION
TO GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS.
REMEMBER THOSE VOLUNTEERS IN NEW
MEXICO WHO POURED THEIR HEARTS INTO THIS, WHO WORKED SO HARD,
BUT I WANT TO END ON A POSITIVE NOTE -- WE NEVER SURRENDER, WE
WILL FIGHT YOU IN NEW MEXICO, WE WILL FIGHT YOU IN VERMONT, WE
WILL FIGHT YOU IN MARYLAND, WE WILL FIGHT YOU IN THE RED STATES
AND WE WILL WIN.
JOIN US AT WOLF-PAC.COM, WE DON'T HAVE
FANCY LOBBYISTS, SOMETIMES THEY SAY WHAT IF WE GO AFTER YOUR
FUNDERS?
YOU JUST SAW THEM.
LET'S FIGHT TOGETHER, RIGHT NOW
WE HAVE TO TAKE ON THESE GUYS PRETENDING TO BE FROM THE LEFT,
AND IN THE PAST AND THROUGHOUT WE HAVE TO TAKE ON THE RIGHT,
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, 90% OF AMERICANS AGREE WITH US THAT
MONEY CORRUPTS POLITICS.
WE WILL WIN, AND WHEN WE DO IT WILL BE
SOLELY BECAUSE OF YOU.
NOT BECAUSE OF SOME FANCY GROUP IN
WASHINGTON OR FANCY DONORS, YOU WILL BE THE ONES THAT DO IT, AND
IT WILL BE THE GREATEST FEELING IN THE WORLD WHEN WE SAVE
DEMOCRACY.
WOLF-PAC.COM.
