First you'll need to have the bribed politicians impeached. It's an interesting
scenario and just one among many. RMS, for example, keeps his eye on Killer
Coke. There's not much corruption one can keep track of and combat at one
time. Intel, Microsoft, Blackwater, GW, Samsung (recent corruption), Siemens
(endless briberies), Cisco (recent fraud), clothing, pharmaceuticals, animal
abuse, ocean/river water contamination, air pollution (emissions), dumping of
electronic waste on overseas populations...
Pick one or pick a few and do what you can......
