Thanks for the reply! I'm sure you won't be surprised to hear that Robert Reich posting about the Montana Plan is getting a mixed response on X. Here's a 180 that I wasn't expecting. lol

Yes! Except... Montana is going about it with a ballot initiative. Not all states allow citizen-led ballot initiatives. But for those that do (shown in yellow below), here's a wiki for more info: bit.ly/enddarkmoneywiki

The thought process is:
Free speech/spending in politics is only a corp right cuz the state gave the corp the underlying power. States determine the underlying power, not the federal government. Per the 10th Amendment and other case law. Details here:

Hi Tom! I saw on your profile on X that you're allergic to that platform. Can't say I blame ya. I'm answering questions when I'm able to find supporting material on the TEI website, the white paper, etc.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a key player in that protection racket. Everyone should contact their member of Congress and urge them to support a motion to vacate the chair. It's past time for a new Speaker of the House.
