"US ATTORNEY PREET BHARARA ISSUES CHALLENGE TO PUBLIC"

From Racine Community Media:


"GET INVOLVED AND STOP CORRUPTION WHICH IS ROTTING AWAY THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR SOCIETY."

"U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara recently issued a challenge to the public — which means you, dear reader — to get involved in the battle against a deep corruption that is rotting away the foundations of our society.

"Send emails to spread the word about sketchy behavior. Write letters to this and other newspapers. Send a few pennies to good-government groups like Citizens Union that keep an eye on things. Go to political forums and demand candidates promise to blow the whistle on corruption even if it doesn’t directly involve them.

"Above all, teach your children that it’s not enough to not be a crook; in a democracy, keeping government and markets honest is everybody’s business.

"Which brings us back to you, dear reader. Each time you wearily dismiss the latest indictment or corruption charge as the unchangeable, routine state of affairs in government, you’re contributing to a culture that tolerates corruption.

“It doesn’t matter how loud someone blows the whistle if the referees are wearing earplugs.”

talk is cheap and they're all good at pissing on each others shoes, but when it comes down to it they all grow brain dead because they don't want to lose the cushy jobs....
