Posted January 2016, social media in response to the Brown campaign's We the People platform and focus on the necessity of 'pushing back' the influence of money-in-politics/pay-to-play/quid pro quo and begin 'first 100 days' administration w/ campaign finance reform and lobbying regulation

SJS: >Speaking of the '92 campaign and trying to wrest the Democratic party from the DLC influence and direction it was going as an adv to Jerry and collaborator w him on our platform, I came across this CBS news feature (video) today. Amazing memories to look back, from my first campaign w Jerry in 76 and pushing green issues now w him for over 40 yrs ... Time flies as the saying goes and it feels appropriate that California is still out in front in green politics and policy -- no more 'moonbeam' rap. Calif very much set in motion the modern envir movement. Too bad Jerry's not younger. He'd be a great president.

SJS: >Not to sound maudlin or whatever but Sanders final sum up sounds just like yours truly in 1992 to the Clinton campaign and the chair of the DNC -- in person, in private meetings, repping the campaign that came in second to Bill and Hillary... what Sanders is saying about quid pro quo, w add on about Citizens United and Super PACs, is old, old news to me -- and there's not going to be much change at all as long as the pay-to-play, campaign finance/lobbying system stays in place -- back then the reps of Ds and Clinton campaign told me, and told me to tell the Brown campaign, that they weren't going to 'unilaterally disarm' and they were moving to out raise and out do the Rs in the money game and in many ways they have... it's about money in politics.... that's where policy comes from
