Today is the anniversary


Today is the 8th anniversary of the Citizens United Supreme Court decision. It's proponents boasted it would increase democracy by expanded political voices. It sure did -- the voices of those with mega cash or who owned corporations gained even greater constitutional "rights" by a majority of Supreme Court justices who believe money is constitutionally-protected free speech and corporations have "personhood" protections. So do you feel your political voice is heard more frequently and forcefully by our elected representatives that 8 years ago? Me neither.
