It's time for a National Intervention

Have you ever wondered what you could to help take action against corporate greed?

National Intervention is a campaign for this purpose. These are some of the basic understandings of this campaign:

 

- Understanding that corporations are not people

- Money is not speech

- Only publically funded elections are not corrupted by moneyed    interests 

 

The focus is to view corporate greed through the lens of an addictive lens and treat it as one would treat someone suffering from an addiction.

This morning I had the good fortune to be tuned in to KBOO, a Community Radio station out of Portland, OR. This morning,  Executive Director, Scott Silber of National Intervention was giving an interview with the radio staff. Mr. Silber sums up the campaign:

"Understanding each of our roles in the addiction system, choosing what our own relationship to those addicted to corporate power will be, that any of this no-brainer amendment work is a sobriety checkpoint and that an intervention is our best chance at banding together for recovery before it's too late."

I am also adding a video that is also on the  National Intervention website because it's important and videos bring it home in a way words might not.

Please friend the Intervention on facebook and follow them on twitter and give support in any other way you are able because the cause is worthy and talk is cheap but campaigns are not.
