“And the rich get richer, and meanwhile with that money they can contribute huge amounts of money to both political parties. This institution itself, 20 percent of the Members at least are millionaires. We expect that with the high cost of elections more and more millionaires will write out their own campaign checks and run for office. The answer, I think, is that working people, middle income people, low income people all over America, have got to stand up and say, ``Excuse me. This country belongs to all the people and not just the very wealthy. You can't not vote. You can't not participate in the political process.'' The big money people are here every single day. I say, ``We need your help. Stand up. Fight back.''”
