Our government is broken and we have to fix it. Josh Silver, founder and director of non-profit organization RepresentUs, walks through the lines that show what's wrong with legal corruption in our government, how we fix it, and what you can do about it. Josh Silver is the founder and director of RepresentUs, a post-partisan, nonprofit organization that is advancing campaign finance and election reforms across the nation. Josh is co-founder and former CEO of Free Press, an advocacy group that promotes critical journalism and Internet openness. He served as campaign manager of the successful 1998 "Clean Elections" ballot measure in Arizona. Josh publishes widely on democracy, media, election, campaign finance and a range of other public policy issues.
