In this past week's seminar my group got to talking about how free speech can be predicted by money. How often to we get to here the views of the minorities or poorer populations. Looking at any major part of our culture the most dominate people (the ones with the loudest voice) tend to be those with the most money and power.
As a Barrack Obama supporter I think it is amazing that he raised more then $55 million in the month of February. In addition to that I think it is incredibly important to note that %90 of this money was raised through donations of less than $100. To me this is inspiring because it shows where his allegiances lie and it seems to be in the people who generally do not have a voice in politics. Do you think this important? Does it matter where a campaign gets its money? If so, is this the best/worst way? I haven't been following politics for very long so I love to hear perspectives from others.
