  • Unveiling the Role of Finance in Political Campaigns

    3 MAY 2024 · This is Part 2 of Campaigns and Money  In the latest episode of "Lest We Forget-Historical," host Lillian Cauldwell examines the impact of money on US political elections. Opening with Cyndi Lauper's quote, "Money changes everything," Ms. Cauldwell explores the notion that billions of dollars raised and spent in federal elections are pivotal in deciding electoral outcomes.

Now, she observes, political candidates wield substantial sums to secure office, making money the new barometer for presidential candidacy over qualifications, experience, and potential contributions to the nation. Ms. Cauldwell urges citizens to reclaim the electoral process from the wealthy and powerful, their lobbyists, and the financial influence that fills their campaign chests.

She questions whether it would be appropriate to dismantle the Statue of Liberty, discard our Constitution and Declaration of Independence, and whether citizens should resign themselves to the forfeiture of all their freedoms. Mr. Trump's stance is that upon taking office, we should confront our adversaries—specifically, his adversaries—and he commits to never relinquishing his position. His remarks suggest that while he intends to be a "Dictator for a Day," he frequently employs this threat and attempts to coerce the American populace into executing his covert directives.

    4 MAR 2024 · In the latest episode of Lest We Forget-Historical, hosted by Lillian S. Cauldwell, we delve into the https://www.history.com/topics/united-states-constitution/2nd-amendment of the United States Constitution—the Right to Bear Arms.
