Reclaiming Civilian Control: How to Keep Generals as Warriors, Not Politicians

Dina Rasor, Truthout: ''Sometimes history and circumstances offer us solutions to centuries-old problems and tensions within our long-lasting government. Even though we feel like a young nation, our Constitution is one of the oldest in history. One of the most original parts of our Constitution is that we made the president the chief of the executive branch, commander of chief of the military. Ultimate civilian control over the military has the goal of keeping the military from running the government, taking control through a coup or pushing us into wars that should not be fought.''

'Super PACs Are Kryptonite for US Democracy'

http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2012/02/08-4

--------

The Rise of Super PACs and the 2012 Election

Super PACs represent much of what is wrong with American democracy rolled neatly into one package. They are tools that powerful special interests and a tiny privileged minority can use to work their will by drowning out the voices of ordinary Americans in a sea of (sometimes secret) cash.

The .0000063 Percent Election: How the Politics of the Super Rich Became American Politics

Ari Berman, TomDispatch: ''Electoral politics and the 2012 presidential election have become almost exclusively defined by the 1%. Or, to be more precise, the .0000063%. Those are the 196 individual donors who have provided nearly 80% of the money raised by super PACs in 2011 by giving $100,000 or more each. If 2008 was the year of the small donor ... then 2012 is 'the year of the big donor,' when a candidate is only as good as the amount of money in his super PAC.''
