The Tunis Agenda for the Information Society belongs in the realm of the few, but very important documents, that promote human reason, human rights and international law. Human rights concepts may be identified within the document as a social achievement of progression toward a common good. This progression toward an apotheosis represents a reminder that the world community must apply human rights standards to any accepted model for the management of the Internet, and yet, as we examine the entire "social process" and potential obstacles to the realization of the goals enshrined in the Tunis Agenda, we uncover the root of its message. These obstacles, within the Tunis Agenda, must be tackled within the context of a "geographical, political, religious, or intellectual" divide, and must be addressed as challenges, that impede the "path of human interaction" toward the effective "imagination of alternatives" and the potential for the arrangement of a workable road map that aims at approximating "a public order of human dignity, maximizing access to all things humans value."

When White House Counsel John Dean infamously told President Richard Milhous Nixon that there was a “cancer on the presidency,” and that more hush money would be needed to keep the cover-up of the Watergate break-in secret, Nixon responded without much hesitation that he knew where he could get a million dollars in cash. The President was used to having vast resources at his fingertips because of the millions flowing through his campaign committees. Historians now know that much of the money flowing through those committees was from illegal sources.
This essay is a synopsis that illegal money and two of the reforms it inspired: the Federal Election Campaign Act and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. This piece will argue that the scale of post-Watergate reforms were justified by the magnitude of quid pro quo corruption in the Nixon White House. This essay will also argue that in 2012, in this post-Citizens United environment, Congress should take a similar approach and embrace both campaign finance reforms as well securities law reforms to ensure the integrity of our democratic processes.
