America's historic greatness is in decline, subverted by moneyed
special interests and their lobbyists who game our political system
to thwart the people's majority will to end military adventures
undertaken as corporate boondoggles, curb global warming, make
equitable minimum wage adjustments, foster stem cell research, and
establish universal health care. Based on extensive and deep
interviews, Moss portrays the motivations and modus operandi of
each of the types of players in the corruption of the American
political system to betray the legitimate interests of the American
people. He quantifies the gains reaped by the system manipulators
and by indirect beneficiaries, and measures the historic
deterioration in the quality of our political candidates and
elected officials as a function of campaign finance distortions.
Selling Out America's Democracy focuses on composite types of the
political players who are the tools of connivance and objects of
control by the special interests: * Democratic congressional staff
* Republican congressional staff * Washington lobbyists * media
representatives * diplomats * non-profit citizen advocacy group
staff Moss concludes by advancing a program of policy changes
calculated to revive our democracy.
