Public funds only. Equal share. If people decisions are based on the ads they see, then at least the information would be based on ad content, not quantity.
Too bad Obama did not agree with you last election. Maybe we would not be in this mess.
I agree, as long as our methods of controlling it are constitutional. The court struck down an unconstitutional law.
How is it unconstitutional to prohibit buying a politician?
If a group of average American people form a corporation, and they see destructive government policies will harm their part of the private sector, they may want to pool their money together to voice their opinions during a political campaign. What is wrong with that?
A rich billionaire like Soros or Buffet have more power unto themselves to influence an election then even a small S Corp or other similarly small group of Americans who form a corporation.
Mega media corporations like GE have been free to use their media arms to fill the airwaves with their political opinions, but they get a media exemption. How does that affect your viewpoint on corporations?

If you think unions have any where near the funding capability of Corporations, you are extremely lost.
Not all corporations go with the right of center. They usually go with the expected winner or play both sides to cover themselves. The unions always go left. The unions played the biggest role in the last election after Soros. You are okay with that?
It's not our country anymore. There is no law, so you might as well use your books for kindling. All of them. Your laws are meaningless without the will of the people upholding them. It's just a piece of paper, like the constitution you just sold out.

There does present the problems when we get to scifi. Superman, Clark Kent and Kal-El are 3 different identities for one man, so does he get 1 vote or 3.
It gets even more complicated when you get into parallel universes & multiple earths from series like Stargate.
On the good side, it'd be cool to have Hannah Montana for President one day.
Entertaining....and hopefully it will get some people thinking.
Sanrene, don't you ever tire of the red/blue tit for tat? That is not what this is about.
Sure it is and you know it. Obama was elected by special interest, by lobbyist, by corporations. So what is wrong with this ruling then. Won't he be re-elected by the same group? Or maybe he won't based on his lame performance?
We are doomed but by the lifers in DC not the corporations. We are doomed by the lobbyist ex-politicians) in DC not the corporations.
Unfortunately most vote part line and that favors what? A 2 corrupt party system.
