Taking Back Democracy
Corporations have taken over. We need some new rules.
The Supreme Court's decision in the Citizens United v. FEC reflects just how bought & broken politics and the rule of law has become.
Over $300 million spent in the last election by corporate donors. The epitome of corporate malfeasance may well be the Koch brothers. They build fake grass roots movements to manipulate the flow information, control elections and rape the environment.
Some dirty industries will provide false data about the effects of pollution on the environment, climate change, etc...
The bottom line is that corporations are not entitled to the same rights as people.
