Money is not free speech, Corporations are not people.

If we don't figure out how to get big money out of our politics, reverse or alter Citizens United in a significant way. We can nibble around the perimeter and of course help some folks in doing. I fear we are just setting up for the next nutbar.

Just my opinion.

And corporations are liability and tax shelters created on paper, not exactly human.

Republicans just make things up and repeat them loud, and long enough for people to start believing them. They make full use of all the rules of propaganda.
