Politics Q&A: Lawrence Lessig on the 2012 Primaries

Conor Friedersdorf wrote in The Atalntic, Politics Q&A: Lawrence Lessig on the 2012 Primaries. "The Harvard professor and campaign-finance-reform advocate reflects on the corrupting influence of money in American politics."

It's not long and is worth reading. Here's one of the killer quotes: "We're talking about 196 people in the United States who've given 80 percent of the money in super PACs. So a country that is supposed to be responsible to the people has got to be ashamed of a system where 196 people are having so much effect in how these campaigns develop. "
