Moyers & Company. Breaking Big Money's Grip on Elections

Description

In this edition of Moyers & Company, Bill speaks with Vermont senator Bernie Sanders, the only independent member of the US Senate, about purchasing political power. It's a grave threat, he believes, not only to our electoral process but to democracy itself. Sanders is angry about what he sees as big money's wholesale purchase. He cites the mayoral election in Richmond, California where Mayor Gayle McLaughlin is running against a ticket backed by the energy giant Chevron.
