Our Super Fly, Super PACs Song
We explain how super PACs are influencing elections.
Still confused about exactly what "super PACs" are and how they're suddenly pouring unlimited donations into presidential politics? Just sit back, relax and listen to the music as we explain:
To explore for yourself exactly where the big spenders and others are putting their money, check out our PAC Track.
The video was produced for us by the geniuses at Explainer Music. Andrew Bean and David Holmes wrote the music and lyrics. Sharon Shattuck designed the graphics, and Krishnan Vasudevan and Sharon did the art direction and animation.

With Corporate personhood, bailouts, tax breaks for the rich and entitlement cuts for the rest, one thing is clear, class warfare has been waged. I’m fighting back. I’m an artist who has posted a youtube video called “The Art of Corpocracy.” http://artandresponse.com/corpocracy The video utilizes thought provoking art to illuminate the government’s servitude to the corporate elite and calls for public financing of political campaigns.
The special interests have used their vast resources to promote their agenda and to generate over 3 millions hits on youtube with another artist’s video called “The Forgotten Man.” We need to fight art with art. You can help by posting the video link and sharing it with as many people you can.
Kind Regards,

To David Shulman: I couldn’t agree more! I doubt that there’s anything to the facts that: (1) John Roberts headed the legal team that persuaded the Supreme Court to give the Bush v. Gore election to Bush; (2) Bush then nominated Roberts to be Chief Justice; (3) Bush met with Roberts the night before he announced that nomination (highly unusual); (4) the Court then wrongly decided Citizens United (a decision widely compared to Dred Scott); (5) Rove was, at the time, pushing the concept of Super PACs; and (6) Rove is literally Bush’s Brain, thus undoubtedly able to exert influence on Roberts via the tit-for-tat Bush/Roberts nomination pact. I’m certain that’s all just coincidence.
One thing the video didn’t point out: Super PACs can donate as much as they wish to a PAC and, although the identity of the Super PAC must be reported by the PAC, the donors to the donating Super PAC remain confidential.

There are two mean spirited, egotistical,politicians, who I truly believe are evil——they are dick Cheney and karl rove . Ther goal has nothing to do with “the people”,but, rather,with money and how much can th.e make on the backs and deaths of the people their mantra was/iS lets go to war
