This selling of legislation to the highest bidder has got to go but

Seems like the Supreme Court would have taken this into account when
they ruled on the Citizens United case earlier this year, but no, not
even our Supreme Court can be trusted to make good decisions.

the SCOTUS is far right (4 of the most conservative justices since
roosevelt are on the court now. they knew damn well what they were

Take the Concerned Citizens for a Working America. The Virginia-based
political action committee (PAC) has thrown $250,000 into South
Carolina's fifth congressional district on behalf of the Republican
candidate. But who are these "concerned citizens"? It turns out that
the sole citizen is a Virginia nonprofit called New Models, which is
not required to disclose its donors.

money is flowing 7:1 to the GOP this year.

conservatives have engineered a hijacking of america in favor of the
rich

and we're about to return them to office

Amazing how the Democrats now want to control contribution moneys when
they are on the short stick. But when Obama was getting the big wad
they were rather quiet. Democrats are hypocrites that need a smack down.

Obama skid marks from NY to LA.
