		<description><![CDATA[The credentialed intelligentsia are usually not willing to speak out against the government for fear of inconvenient backlash such as job loss or the reputation damage that results from smear campaigns unleashed by the politicos and their legions of parrots crowding the mainstream media channels.


...Lawrence Lessig has the ethical backbone to do what is socially just and he is taking square aim at the heart of the beast--which is the corrupting influence of BIG money and those lacking the moral backbone to resist its' temptations.


...For more than a decade, the Stanford law professor and Creative Commons founder has focused his efforts on Internet and copyright issues, advocating a "free culture" that puts fewer legal barriers in the way of artists who adapt and build upon the works of others. 

...The organization's latest project is a nationwide "donor strike" asking citizens to refrain from donating money to political campaigns until Congress takes steps to limit the influence of money in politics.

		<description><![CDATA[Beneficiaries of the $700 billion bailout package in the finance and automotive industries have spent a total of $114.2 million on lobbying in the past year and contributions toward the 2008 election, the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics has found. ...  During the bill-writing process, members of Congress were able to specify to some extent where the money should go, and they have lobbied regulators to urge them to inject funds into specific banks and financial institutions, including those in lawmakers' own districts.&#160;&#160;  "Taxpayers hope their money is being allocated entirely on the merits, but with Congress controlling how much money the Treasury gets to hand out, it will be impossible to completely exclude politics from this process," Krumholz said.  

...This includes  General Motors , which spent $15 million between campaign contributions and lobbying expenditures and got $10.4 billion (more than all other companies),  Bank of America  (and the investment company it bought last year,  Merrill Lynch ), which spent $14.5 million to play politics and received  $45 billion  from the bailout bill; and  American International Group  (AIG), which spent $10.6 million and was paid out $40 billion. ...  The  finance, insurance and real estate sector , including all companies and trade groups (not just those that qualified for TARP funds), spent $453.5 million on lobbying in 2008, an 8.7 percent increase from the year before. ]]></description>
