Lessig presented the topic of “corruption in our government” in his book. There were two element that he went by, bad governance and lost trust. By bad governance, he meant the “government doesn’t track the expressed will of the people, whether on the Left or on the Right” (Lessig 2011: 8) and by lost of trust, he meant “when democracy seems a charade, we lost faith in the process” (Lessig 2011: 9). By this, he is means that these two element makes up corruption, how these two element connects and feed on each other’s strands. Lessig argues that our government is corrupted because the US Congress depends upon funding from large donors. The donors gives out big dollar money to help with candidate campaigning finance and that is look at as a systemic problem in our government. Instead of depending on individual people, they depend more on the larger donor who can donate money and influence candidate. With this, it is systematically corruption which means they depend on the government to ensure the people that they protect the government. An example that Lessig gave was Yeltsin, a Russian president who had problem with alcohol, shortly after his seating as the Russian president. He was viewed as a drunk. Lessig said Yeltsin was considered to be a “good soul,” but because of his wanted and worked to do good for his nation, he failed to follow because of a dependency that conflicted with his duty to his nation. He also gave an example of an institution corrupting when individuals depends upon influence that distract them from the intended purpose of the institution. Lessig also argues that congress persons spend three of every five weekdays raising money for reelection. This causes them to spend less time on debating about bills and laws and more time on raising money that can benefit them for reelection again. Congresspersons fundraising and depending on large donors affects the ability of Congress to govern, whether or not it changes the fact that donation actually changes the way member vote on things. Lessig suggest that congressperson should take up less-than-important issues for the purpose of intimidating corporations to encourage them to become campaign contributor. His strongest argument in this book is the conservative demands for a complete deregulations of campaign finance. A system with no restraint empower. So long as the wealth can be a leverage in political power, it can be a leverage to protect itself against free market competition. The key to this book is about dependency. Our government system depends too much on large donor that they don’t depend on the individual people as I’ve stated above. Lessig proposed a method of dismantling the economies’ special interest, lobbyists, and legislators by say a constitutional convent could propose a constitutional Amendment requiring campaign finance reform. This approaches would get around to the Supreme Courts decision in which it allow virtually unrestricted campaign contributors under the banner of free speech. One of his solution that he said was, for every voting citizen, they would get a voucher of $50 from the federal government to be contributed to qualified candidates for election purposes. To get this money, candidates would have to agree to finance their campaigns only with vouchers or with private contributions limited to $100 or less. He called this proposal “The Grant and Franklin Project.” With this proposal, the individuals that didn’t get heard would only contribute to the candidate that they think is most deserving with the voucher money. I think this solution works well because with our government rely only on big donor for finance, those individual who don’t get their voice heard can project to hearing the candidates and contribute the amount only to the candidate who would have to agree to only use that voucher money. I think this can also hurt the candidate because with only the voucher money, they’re not going to have enough to finance publicity or news or their campaign. Because they depend on large donor to support them and have an influence on them, they don’t depend on individual peoples.
