~> EC> The first amendment to the United States Constitution agrees with the ~> EC> decision in Citizens United. You posted a site for those who do not ~> EC> like free speech. How about one for those who DO like free speech? ~> How many votes do you think a large corporation like Exxon - Mobil ~> is entitled to? Corporations don't vote in elections for governmental office. Most people already knew that, but I point it out just in case. ~> If they've a greater right than that of an average citizen to donate ~> to a political candidate, and they do, the that's elevating corporations ~> far above those rights granted to U.S. citizens. The case had nothing to do with donating money to a candidate, and it gave no "greater" rights to corporations than individuals. Your lack of understanding the basics of the case helps to explain your opinion of it. ~> Thus corporations can thus easily move the U.S. towards the very definition ~> of a fascist state as defined by Benito Mussolini. Ha ha ha! Sauer and Klahn tried that a while back, and then dropped it after they displayed that they don't have a clue as to what "fascist" means. Go ahead and take your turn. Try to explain why Citizens United can lead to a centralized government having more power OVER privately-held companies! ~> Your average U.S. citizen is strictly limited in what they can donate, ~> the corporations are NOT. Really? The United States Supreme Court and the US Code disagree with you, but please, please elaborate!!! --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5a* Origin: FidoTel & QWK on the Web! www.fidotel.com (1:124/311) SEEN-BY: 3/0 633/267 640/954 712/0 313 848 @PATH: 124/311 140/1 261/38 712/848 633/267 |
