feingold organized a route for smuggling jews out of the country.e recalls that the local police could not help but notice so many people on the mountain pass. >> they called the security office and said, "there are refugees here. what should we do?" they were caught off guard and told them to call vienna. the interior minister back then was a real friend to the jews. like everyone else, he did not want any jews in austria, so he told police to shut their doors and pull the curtains. it was none of their business. >> ironically, anti-semitism was one factor that helped so many jews escape austria. some 5000 jews entered italy through this pass. many had no clothes or shoes. feingold wanted to stay. >> everyone liked me so much that they asked me why i did not go to palestine. if i knew the person i was talking to was catholic, i said, "when you go to rome, i'll go to israel." >> today, feingold is president of the israelite community in salzburg. he has held the post for decades. the word "community," he tells us is a misnomer. there are hardly any

madam president, i agree with ted kennedy, i agree with russ feingold. and i will tell you privately, i have urged democratic colleagues to come and join me in defense of the first amendment. the handful who have not put their names to this amendment, and all i can surmise is that the partisan pressures of washington are too much. now, this amendment's not going to pass, but it is profoundly dangerous that in the united states senate, not a single democratic senator will come to the floor in defense of the first amendment. it is profoundly dangerous that the modern democratic party now thinks it's good politics to campaign on repealing the first amendment. the #don'trepeal 1a has echoed through twitter as individual citizens are amazed. earlier this year we saw all 55 democrats stand together against religious liberty, supporting an amendment that would gut the religious freedom restoration act which was passed with overwhelming bipartisan support and signed into law by bill clinton. it used to be on religious liberty, you had a bipartisan consensus. the

i think mccain-feingold is an example of the convergence, it has been eroded by 5-4 decisions of the supreme court. money is very corrupting. the idea that money is speech would horrify our founders. and i draw the decision between corporations and individuals. i think corporations are artificial entities. they should be subordinated constitutionally to the people. the supreme court's revolutionary decisions time and time again are correcting a system in our political economy where operations are supreme over individuals. and that is obviously in my mind a subversion of our democratic process. >> for the next few questions, we will have mr. nader answer first to keep a balance. is it possible to have the government of, by, and for the people of this country without meaningful campaign reform? >> difficult, because it intimidates people who otherwise might you forward them either to run for office or just to be active. when they see mountains of money on the other side and in tv ads, radio ads, and all kinds of apparatus. i think the important thing to remember is if there is no money

19 -- the newt gingrich funding issues, bill clinton's problems, soft money the passage of mccain-feingold, the scandal in this opinion court decisions, citizens united and then the recent rise of the super packs. he has won several awards such as the columbia and the radio television correspondents association annual award for excellence. marcus is a columnist and editorial writer at the "washington post" and focuses on american politics and domestic policy and has been with the post since 1984 and joined the national staff in 1986 and covered a wide variety of issues including campaign finance, the justice department, the supreme court and the white house. she joined the editorial board in 2003 and begin writing a regular column in 2006. john harwood is the chief washington correspondent for cnbc and was also a political writer for "the new york times" and writes a weekly column, the political memo for the paper and in addition to cnbc, john offers quick analysis on meet the press and also the washington weekend review of on other television and radio programs. the reporter for "the wall

until the constitution is amended, we cannot enact real reforms, reforms like mccain-feingold. the court will just strike them down. we're headed back to the pre-watergate era. in 2012, outside groups spent $450 million to influence senate and house races. in 2008, before citizens united, they spent $43 million. that's a tenfold increase. there is an obvious trend and it is deeply troubling. much of that money is hidden. according to a recent report by the brennan center, over half the money -- half the money -- spent in this year's top nine senate races is not fully disclosed. so in two months, we will know the outcome of these elections but we won't know who paid for them. and this chart is a great indication here. you have the top most contested senate races and here in the red have you full disclosure of the money. so the red shows you what people know and they know who the contributors are, but the blue, which more than half, if you average it through all the elections, partial or absolute nondisclosure. this clearly shows that we have a broken system, and there are only t
