Anything the wealthy do during elections is legal and free speech, but voting must be curbed as much

Sunshine to be shown on the Kochroaches.
They and their state ALEC lackeys, their corporate pals, and their MVP in the House and Senate, have made it hard for REAL people to vote. The GOP doesn't want us to vote, that's clear. They FEAR our vote.
That's why the 'both parties are the same' and 'I'm going to protest by not voting' folks are wrong. Yeah, there's the old cynical saying that 'If voting changed anything, it'd be illegal' applies here in reverse!
They've tried to make sure we can't vote, so they know it changes things way too much for them to keep on getting away with their crimes.
We don't need to help these crooks. It's up to us to show up at the polls or admit we are willing to let them have it all.

(173 posts)4. Yes...
I wonder when they added the part into the legal lingo that as long as you net worth is above $2,000,000,000 that the laws of us commoners no longer apply? Oh, that's right... Citizens United ruling did that...

(12,188 posts)8. This is why the GOP is so "kochy" about winning the house and senate...
they are going to criminalize the election like it's never been done before.

Look what has happened to this nation and the world since that faked up 2000 election. It has proven to be a disaster.
