OK --JOHN ROBERTS & SCALIA

Maybe they have thrown us into the brier patch-----we can use this ruling to expose any company that donates large sums to the GOP----let's give them an economic lesson----our future is not only GOTV ---but also boycott-----if 65,000,000 voted for Obama ----and only 60,000,000 voted for Romney------we need to create an additional focus on the economics ----if we just simply focus hard on Koch industries ---and really grind that message home to them-----I can assure you that greed is a greater motivator to them than principle ----and at the same time we really reward the companies that donate to Democrats------if you think that it won't work ask Vlad Putin what it meant when he lost Master Card-----midnight calls to Obama --------we need to show John Roberts where the muscle is in this country-----and let's start cracking down -----and who knows what else ----

Most will donate huge amounts to Repubs and Dems to be able to insure that whoever wins has been bought and sold. And as a result, no matter who gets elected, they'll be beholden to corporate/big money interests. It's why we're in the shit shape we're in now with the Democratic party pretty much having abandoned even the most sensible gun measures, all but thrown in the towel on unions, afraid to even broach all but the most mild and innocuous of taxc increases, trying to be more deficit-hawkish than the next guy, and all but given in to the Republican approach to education with common core/charter school mania.

It's only going to get worse as the dollar amounts increase.
