Please support free and fair elections in America: initiate and pass legislation limiting the effect of the Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens vs. United. Corporations are not people or voters; they should not be defined as persons for the purpose of political contributions and spending. Money is not speech; neither corporations nor individuals should be allowed to spend unlimited amounts of money on politics and elections.
Why is this important?
The supreme court recently carried the meaning of "corporate personhood" to an extreme, and equated the unlimited, anonymous spending of money with free speech. The effect of this on our electoral system, already direly corrupted by money, is unlikely to be constructive in any way. It may prove the end of free and fair elections in America. Are you willing to take that risk?
