Letter: Expunge money from campaigns

The Columbian
Published: October 12, 2011, 5:00pm

I am going to stick my neck out and announce to my community and friends that I have signed MSNBC talk show host Dylan Ratigan’s “Get Money Out” of politics petition, as presented on his website: http://www.dylanratigan.com and at: http://www.getmoneyout.com.

I really think that this might just have a chance to make a difference for the future of our country. I urge others to look into this on the Internet, and if you agree, sign on.

My husband and I have decided that the money that we would normally contribute to political campaigns during the upcoming 2012 election will instead be sent to the food bank and homeless shelter.
