I publish Op-Ed guest editorials on politics and the corrupting effect of dark money on our representative democracy. Media outlets include the Times of Trenton, The Princeton Packet, and the Bergen County Record - three regional newspapers in New Jersey. I have actively supported and promoted the citizens "Super PAC to end all Super PACs," the MayDay PAC, co-founded by Larry Lessig.
I am also a think tank panelist on the Emmy-award winning public affairs show, “Fresh Outlook.” The program, broadcast weekly on the DISH Network, RCN Cable and other outlets, has a worldwide viewership of 6 Million. Here are two recent segments from Saturday, August 8, 2015:

My guest editorial, "Campaign finance reform a serious issue in N.J.'s 12th District," published in October was a special call to all citizens and voters -- and the candidates for Congress in New Jersey's District 12. We Americans, regardless of party affiliation, take the corruption of politics by Big Money and secret dark funds seriously.
In November, 2014, I had two new post-election pieces, "Fear and Loathing in 2014" and "Democracy in alive and well -- and flying under the radar."
My first editorial for 2015 made survival of the middle-class and anti-corruption campaigns a basis for different democracy alliances. It is entitled, "A new Populist alliance: Why progressives and the Tea Party should work together."
My June 2015 guest opinion piece in The Princeton Packet, "Voters can reclaim our democracy," was originally titled "The ABC's of Oligarchy." This short primer on the eclipse of representative democracy by the 0.1% of the ultra-wealthy requires popular mobilization as an effective antidote. The evidence shows this is happening.
