Corporate American is trying to buy what's left of our Democracy with anonymous donations

[flpoljunkie]

Thank you, John Roberts, for putting the final nail in the coffin of our corrupted campaign finance system. Our democracy is for sale, and corporate special interests have been put in an unprecedented position to buy it--and buy it anonymously!

Our best hope is that President Obama can fire up Democrats and get them out to vote in November. The stakes could not be higher.

As the Reverend Joseph Lowery says in a new DNC radio ad, “In 2008, we changed the guard. This year, we must guard the change. This is Reverend Joseph Lowery, asking you to stand on the shoulders of those who came before you.”

1. Before Citizens United, global corporations had to own media to control

public discourse. Now they can anonymously buy airtime and ads too.

2. TRYING? That's present tense. Should be past tense.

The deed is done.

3. It ain't over 'til it's over! If we vote, they lose!!!
