Photos and Video: K Street 5K To Get Money Out of Politics

Big money lobbyists had some unwelcome company on K Street this past April 13th as hundreds of demonstrators dressed in hundred dollar bills marched down "Influence Alley" to protest money in politics and advocate for anti-corruption reforms in Congress.

Check out photos and video from the "K Street 5K," which was organized by United Republic's Represent.Us campaign.

"Public interest advocates have been ignored and slighted for decades because politicians are focused on pleasing those with the most money, not the best ideas. We finally realized that if we want to get politicians’ attention, we need to be the money," Represent.Us director Josh Silver told Examiner.com.
