Clip of The Day: Murray Hill Inc. for Congress?

This clip may be presented as satire...but don't be so quick to laugh. The truth is that unless we pass a Constitutional Amendment reversing Citizen's United v. Federal Election Commission, this could become a reality. If you don't know that case you should.

Citizen's v. FEC, is the case about which Obama appropriately chastised the Supreme Court during his 2010 State of the Union address. Perhaps second only to 9/11, this ruling will likely be the most important political event in my lifetime...and possibly yours. Corporations are not people. They are faux-identities empowered by the people, to conduct business. All of their rights, and their responsibilities, are defined by the people through legislation and codification, governing their right to exist. Originally, corporations were intended to survive only for a short defined duration. We cannot allow them to pursue rights independently from those who supposedly govern them.

Restore the first amendment to the people. Sign On: Don't Get Rolled.
