I just signed the “Fight Washington Corruption” pledge disemenated through the web by Moveon.org. Maybe it’ll have some sort of impact if enough people sign it. Here’s the wording of the pledge:

Overturn Citizens United:
Amend the Constitution to protect America from unlimited corporate spending on our elections by overturning the Supreme Court’s decision giving corporations the same First Amendment rights as people.
Fair elections now:
Pass the Fair Elections Now Act, providing public financing to candidates who are supported by small donors so they can compete with corporate-backed and self-funded candidates.
Lobbyist Reform Act:
Pass legislation to end the overwhelming influence of corporate lobbyists by: prohibiting individuals from switching from corporate lobbying to government service, or vice-versa, within a 5-year period; stopping corporate lobbyists from giving gifts and providing free travel to government officials; and posting online the attendees and content of all meetings between lobbyists and government officials.

This is my optional note to my State Representative Ed Markey included with my signing of the pledge:

“Please, please, please pass all of these acts! The simple fact of the matter is that when decisions involving the well being of the public are subject to the profit motive, only a very few, at the very top of the income bracket, are served, and with these few in power, this incredibly unjust system will continue to abuse and ultimately destroy all of what is the best for man kind in general.”
