IN A FAR-REACHING DECISION THAT COULD WELL BE A TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE OF JUDICIAL ACTIVISM, THE U.S. SUPREME COURT HAS STRUCK DOWN DECADES OF ELECTION FINANCE PRECEDENT AND OPENED THE FLOODGATES TO UNLIMITED CORPORATE SPENDING ON ELECTIONS.
PRESIDENT OBAMA DENOUNCED THE DECISION AS "A MAJOR VICTORY FOR BIG OIL, WALL STREET BANKS, HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES AND THE OTHER POWERFUL INTERESTS THAT MARSHAL THEIR POWER EVERY DAY IN WASHINGTON TO DROWN OUT THE VOICES OF EVERYDAY AMERICANS."
MAJOR CORPORATIONS IN THIS COUNTRY POST BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN PROFIT AND COULD EASILY SPEND ENOUGH MONEY TO DETERMINE THE OUTCOME OF AN ELECTION OR INFLUENCE VOTES ON LEGISLATION. STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS AND FOR OUR DEMOCRACY. URGE YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES TO SUPPORT THE FAIR ELECTIONS NOW ACT!
