Disclosure, that’s all we want. Seems innocent, not like its national security, right? I mean come on Justices of the Supreme Court; when the majority of our highest court decided for Citizens United did you know that your ruling would allow other countries to have a weighted say in our American elections like I did? Think about this for a second Justice Scalia, Roberts, Thomas, Alito, and especially you Kennedy; we aren’t talking about American multinational corporations allowed to dump limitless money into stealthily named pacs like “citizens for this or that” in order to do campaign commercials and other media for the sole intent of getting politicians elected that are sympathetic to their causes, no, this was the slippery slope we all knew it was. Besides the CU decision is no more than legalizing lobbying with no limits scripted to an electorate audience that loves drama, smut, and craftily made commercials. This ruling has many implications and stretches farther than its intent by allowing countries that harbor terrorists or others that wants our jobs in their countries or worse, a way into our elections to control our policies against them. These countries through their corporations are now allowed to voice their opinions in our elections by contributing money to American organizations like the United States Chamber of Commerce. This is a direct influence into our countries elections through entertainment media. This is why President Obama went after you in the State of the Union address and I applaud his courage in doing so.
When this ruling was made, educated people knew its scope was sinister enough because you were giving a corporation more free speech rights than us biological beings without the right for us who patronize those same corporations to know who was funding what. We thought it was ludicrous a legal corporate charter could spend money for professional media groups to do ad after ad for politicians who sympathized with their free market, laissez faire unregulated philosophies without any over site intent in creating a neo feudalism. Corporations got the right to buy lawmakers and create policy! It’s true your honors, sooner or later the corporations will run their candidates but dress them up to look just like you, a sellable marketable image, but please don’t be fooled because he or she will be that Manchurian candidate, a kind of corporate sock puppet to do their bidding. I’m sorry sirs, I had a lot of respect for our judicial branch but now I wonder aloud because as impartial jurists you shouldn’t of allowed precedent to be subverted and you should have never re-wrote a law that protected people for over 100 years from a few controlling the many. In my humble opinion this is way more detrimental to our republic than if a president got a BJ. I ask would it be unconstitutional to make a change to our countries highest esteemed document and change our laws to give us the right to remove Supreme Court Judges for impeachment by branding some of you for what you are; bought by money interests and against ours.
You may feel I’m being a little pejorative in my rhetoric, but it doesn’t matter to me, I’m just a serf who means nothing in your world. I’ve been bred to do work and be subordinate, right? After all, economists like Friedman didn’t think workers like me were smart enough to think for themselves and should be led. Unfortunately for you, I have a mind and I see disparity with this because I see commercial ad after ad for politicians that obfuscate the truth tainted with an emotional spin and marketed in such a way that many who can’t see through the obscurity actually believe these ads as truth swaying this unsuspecting public to vote against their best interests. I guess I’m just a little cynical, right?
Where is our disclosure? Why can’t we have the right to see who is paying for these ads? Why is it OK that our American Chamber of Commerce can get in on these shenanigans? Seems to me I remember a time where the Chamber was esteemed as an organization that cared about their reputation as a fair and honest broker to businesses of all sizes. Now it’s just another Lobby group who cares nothing of the people who work in the corporations but just so the highest up in those corps get theirs.
Bahrain is putting millions into their coffers in hopes of hand picking our next lawmakers and you guys let them. Your ruling is allowing countries like China, Korea, and India to get influence in who gets the jobs in the world. Big Banks from across the ocean are spending millions to make sure they can keep up with their money games unmolested by the Americans. Used to be that we all loved this country. Used to be American exceptionalism meant something. This decision has proven one thing to me, something the Fox crowd should really be scared about. This misguided Citizens United decision has sold our countries greatest right; the way our vote means something in a true Democratic election. We are being bought out by that New World Order that we’ve been warned about.
