http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Citizens_United [quote]In January, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a divided 5-4 vote, held that section 441b of the 2002 McCain-Feingold federal campaign finance law ([url=http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Bipartisan_Campaign_Reform_Act]Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act[/url]) was unconstitutional. The law prohibited corporations and unions from using their general treasury funds to make independent expenditures for "electioneering communication," or for speech expressly advocating the election or defeat of a candidate. The ruling effectively protected corporate speech the same as individual speech. The majority’s ruling about corporate electioneering marked a dramatic break from the past. In doing so, the Court rejected a century of previous court decisions that ruled corporate donations can, and should be regulated. In its ruling, the court never explained why corporate identity demands the same treatment as individual identity.[5][/quote] TL;DR - Corporations, businesses, and organizations are people too, and they should be allowed to buy their way into politics, but we can't explain why. We just think that this is prohibiting free speech, so shut the -blam!- up, and accept it. This is corruption in its purest form. If our rights aren't recognized under private supervision, then why is it the opposite the other way around? Why do these businesses get to buy their way into deciding our laws, just because they have money? How is this allowed to be what represents America? By the way, this is a conservative policy, so to all of you conservatives, I want to know what you think of this. You're all for limiting the government's hold on corporations, but when it's the other way around? I want to see where your allegiance lies.
