A YouTube video posted on August 20, 2013, "#MarchAgainstCorruption November 2nd Everywhere," details the disturbing pervasiveness of corruption in the U.S. government. The video itself was composed mostly of various clips from informative videos and different media organizations, all of which attempt to educate viewers on the ubiquitous nature of corruption in the political system.
The March Against Corruption is an international campaign to raise awareness about the corrupting influence of money and special interests in governance and public policy making; to provide a forum for people, to organize and speak out against corruption; and to educate the public about the consequences of corruption.
The video gives numerous facts and statistics to back up its claims, such as lists of big business executives serving public office while still being "bribed" with money from their former companies or that relevant funding to politicians comes from only .05% (one percent of one percent) of Americans.
The video makes a call for much needed change, suggesting that an impermeable "firewall" should be set up between the market and the government to restrict the flow of money between the two and limit corruption. One speaker in the video says that a law to spread the influence of campaign funding to all Americans instead of just the filthy rich would be the best way to fix the system.
Announced in the title and at the close of the video is the March Against Corruption, which is planned to take place "everywhere" on November 2nd. If you want to make a change and give your children a brighter future with a better government they can truly take part in, then you should get involved in the March Against Corruption.
