System Of A Down's Serj Tankian has launched two new websites dealing with political and social issues. The outspoken musician's two new projects are Electthedead.com and Skyisover.net, the latter focussing on environmental issues, the former urging for the elimination of the US Electoral College, caps on corporate contributions to candidates, tax reform, and the abolition of Washington DC's lobbying firms.
Tankian says in a statement: "The process is tilted toward moneyed interests in this democracy. It's time to change that. No matter whom we choose to vote for, the reform of the current system, whether it's regarding the influence of corporate lobbyists or campaign finance reform, is long overdue. This is our democracy, and we need to take a hold of it, revolutionize it, and bring it back to what it was intended to be by the founding fathers".
