My first reaction is this goes too far but on second thought is this just the state of the world now? We are going to come out of the shadows and just be upfront about what we are doing? Is it a "The rich and the powerful lie, cheat, steal, bribe, corrupt, etc. Why shouldn't we?" situation?

I think money in politics is ruining the USA, is using money to fight back against these dirty politicians and lobbyists the only tool we have left?

The power and authority of the state emanates from the people, don't let your government convince you otherwise. If enough enough people woke this morning deciding their government was no longer legitimate those in power would be gone by night fall.

That is a little idealistic, don't you think? The Occupy movement got crushed by the police. It is in the state's best interest to prevent social movements from reaching critical mass. As such, they use their massive enforcement arms to nip the troublemakers in the bud.
