Here is a complete video of Neil Young at the Farm Aid 2014 Press Conference at the Walnut Creek Amphitheatre in Raleigh, North Carolina on September 13, 2014.
Neil Young speaks plainly about the corrupting influence of money in politics and the devastation it has wrought to the family farmer community. Once again, Neil names names and calls out for action. North Carolina's U.S. Senator Richard Burr is criticized harshly for his recent opposition to stemming the tide of the hostile corporate takeover of Washington, DC.
Senator Richard Burr opposes Move To Amend which seeks to reject the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling, and move to amend our Constitution to firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.
"Clean Up Washington and You Clean the Earth", says Neil Young.
"All of the things we're talking about here are all about power. It's all about corporations telling us what to do."

ReplyDeleteCan someone tell me how I can find out how my Senators voted on this? If you want to make it really easy for me I'm in Missouri. Thank You
ReplyDelete@Peacelover Doc, Move to Amend (MTA) is an active political action group. Follow the link that TW provided in the article and scroll down "how you can get involved."
ReplyDeleteTW might want to add the roll call link that gives updated about how US senators vote on issues:
