History will look at the 2010 mid-term elections as the year when big business took sides, when the Chamber of Commerce declared war on President Obama, when the Supreme Court gave corporations the right to spend unlimited sums on their favorite candidates and issues. I want it to be remembered instead as the year when citizens fought back against this abuse and took a stand. This is my attempt at fighting back and I hope you join me.
You might be familiar with my new project, Barack's Backers. I want to bring together people from all across the country to fight for Democrats this November, as it may be the most important election in our lifetime. I have never seen so much extremism, racism and hatred so openly expressed by people on the right, in the media, and by candidates funded by billionaires, Wall Street and corporate America.
