Last Vestiges Of Restriction On CORPORATE Election ($) In Jeopardy In U.S. Supreme Court!

[DaLittle Kitty]

The last vestiges of restriction on Corporate involvement in politics (Read That... Campaign Ca$H!) Up for elimination in Corporatist Supreme Court this September! Please listen to Ring of Fire radio broadcast as noted by link below... :nuke:

This has been purposely ... KEPT UNDER THE RADAR (sic) by the Corporate mainstream media. :think:

This is of MAXIMUM importance that America be made aware of the consequences associated with the likely ruling of a CORPORATIST ALIGNED Supreme Court headed by John Roberts.

The Roberts/Alito Court has NEVER failed to side with the Prosecution/Corporation/Institution/Executive Branch and AGAINST the citizen since its inception.

I urge people to also review the detailed material associated with this vitally important case via the link below.

In modern national election campaigns, for President and for members of Congress, increasingly sophisticated modes of communication seek to capture the voting public’s attention, and to shape election outcomes. In various media, including films, the “attack ad” is one of the most ubiquitous kinds of message that campaign organizations or private advocacy groups put out. Congress made a major effort to put some limits on such so-called “electioneering communications” — including attack ads — when, in 2002, it passed the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act. Since then, the Supreme Court has spent a good deal of time and energy sorting out constitutional issues surrounding one of the Act’s most controversial sections — Section 203, the “electioneering communications” section. The Court in the 2003 decision in McConnell v. FEC upheld that provision as written — that is, against “facial” constitutional challenges targeting its very wording. More recently, the Court has returned with some frequency to resolving challenges to Section 203 as it has been applied in the context of specific political messages. It returns to that exploration in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.


...Section 203 — a modern echo of federal regulation that goes back to 1907 — is aimed at corporations (including non-profit advocacy organizations using the corporate form) and at labor unions. It does not restrict corporate or union expenditures used to finance campaign communications, when those are paid for out of a PAC — a political action committee. But, if a corporation or union wishes to spend its own treasury funds, Section 203 bars the use of those funds to finance communications that refer to a clearly identified candidate for the presidency or for Congress, on radio, television, cable TV, or satellite broadcast, within 30 days before a primary election or nominating convention, or within 60 days before a general election.

So... Do you think that allowing corporations to expend unlimited amounts of cash on candidates and campaigns will broaden or contract our "democracy" such as it is??? My answer is GAME OVER for the individual! :puke: Corporate America will completely control what is now OUR half ass and ALREADY Corporate Skewed American political system. :think:

What will it become after this??? :think:

We need Federal Campaign Finance/Election Reform, NOT this Sh*t! :think:
