Last week Golden State Warrior Adonal Foyle was scheduled to deliver the keynote for Democracy Week at his alma matter. Here's a snippet from his great speech:
"The social movement that we need today is disarmingly simple, but it is basic to giving us back our voice in politics," said Foyle. "What we need to do is change the way our political system funds election campaigns. We need to make sure that politicians are no longer so dependent on a small group of elite campaign contributors and special interests.
"We need publicly funded elections."
Colgate student: "Democracy bigger than this?"
Adonal: "Absolutely!"
