When are you going to accept that freedom of speech applies to all people, even if you don't like them?
corporations are not people. They deserve no constitutional rights whatsoever. That the SC defends their rights only proves the corruption of the court.

No. Government telling you how much money you can spend is not freedom.
People really dont like free speech here do they?
I never understood how people oppose free speech until recently. I just don't understand why anyone would want to restrict their rights.
Money..does not equal speech.
And should not equal "more access" to the political process.
That's part of the reason people left Europe for America.
No, they left Europe because their system was designed to keep you poor.
Absolutely, but with a different twist. I would like see a limit on campaign spending, not contributions. I would like see a limit of $100,000 place on candidates for the House, $200,000 for the Senate, and a million for the presidency. Second, I would like to see televised debates sponsor for all candidates as well as town hall meetings. This is how we should learn about the candidates not TV ads.Oligarchy, a political system that is controlled by a small group of individuals, who govern in their own interests.
Does Citizens United v. FEC portend our nations future?
I support campaign finance reform, limits on contributions and the total transparency of the donors.
Do you?
Lastly, I would ban all political advertising. Call it a health hazard like smoking are whatever it takes to make it constitutional. What's going on now is pure insanity.
How would it stop unofficial spending by those not directly involved in the campaign?
Like smoking, I would ban political ads as being dangers to your health; i.e. your sanity. Seriously, there is probably no you could stop them. However, you could probably require the media outlets label these ads as unauthorized. With enough bad press and public scorn, you might be able to stop these ads.How would it stop unofficial spending by those not directly involved in the campaign?
Hey..we are brainstorming..feel free.
But my take...like prohibition of electioneering around polls..maybe make a time limit on that sort of stuff in the media.

What are the UNIONS but Coprporations? Their products are manipulation of their membership and politicians. I wonder if the OP thinks Unions should have limits on their speech too?
Actually he is dead wrong. When it comes to Elections Money does equal speech.

Do you think that corporations ought to give up their rights of limited liability?
If those who write the rules are not SUBJECT to the rules, abuse and oppression quickly follow. Huh, what a surprise!The futility of enforcing rules on those who wrote those rules.
