Guest guest Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Sat Nam, Wow, two dirty subjects in one email. I don't usually like to post anything political or corporate related, but since I can knock out both in one email, i thought this was of interest. maybe some of you can weigh in. " The Supreme Court today [yesterday] allowed corporations to use their immense wealth to take over our elections. The court's decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission struck down 60 years of legal precedent prohibiting corporations from making campaign expenditures to attack or support political candidates. The court ruled that the First Amendment - designed to protect the speech of real, live humans - guarantees for-profit corporations the right to influence elections. " " This is nothing short of a massive assault on the very foundation of American democracy.
