The SCOTUS has upheld the freedom of expression that campaign finance reform took away from corporations and unions. Instead of taking a really hard look at what the campaign finance problem is, all I have heard today is the usual bickering over how we limit money in politics. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! Stop playing the shell game the politicians want you to play! Take a step back away from the con-artists table and look at the game. The REAL reason there is money in politics is because the corporations and unions have correctly identified the problem with campaign finance. The politicians have been given or have taken a massive amount of power and now they get to decide who wins and who loses. The corporations and unions are only fighting for survival. If they don’t pay to play, their opponents (often an opposing corporation or union) will pay the piper and make off with the loot. The only way this country will reduce the corruption of our government is to restore the restrictions that had been originally placed on the federal branch of government in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Remember, if you don’t play a game by a solid set of rules, expect to lose!
