have a good evening...

I don't know much about the law, so maybe that's the problem, but I don't
understand the issue with allowing (or not allowing) corporations to
contribute to campaigns. I guess the courts consider them the same as
individuals, but that just seems odd and wrong-headed to me.

corporations aren't people and aren't mentioned in the constitution.
they are a legal fiction. their money is real and it distorts the
political process

I thought I read somewhere about a Supreme Court ruling that basically
allows corps to be treated like individuals, as far as "First Amendment"
rights go.
