and there needs to be a very clear line that cannot be crossed, that carries very heavy criminal penalties if it is crossed.
They won't be doing any real time for that.
Then that hurts all of us. On both sides.
This should be a non partisan issue. Lets make it clear. If you want to donate money, you do so up front, with no right to secrecy. If you give money to any politician that returns the favor for gain, it is a felony, and both should go to prison.
Well sweetie, the unions have been doing that for decades, where have ewe been?
And the rich and well connected have been doing it a lot longer, but that isn't the topic here.
Dark money in the sums being donated aren't coming from unions, and Citizens United wasn't a decision in favor of unions.
The overwhelming billions of donated PAC money comes from corporations that want quid pro quo to prevent the right of workers to organize.
Ironic isn't it. Corporations argue money donated to tax exempt PAC's, is freedom of speech, and they are entitled to it, to deny the same Constitutionally protected speech of workers to organize.
Of course it isn't any secret who unions donate their money to, so the judges ruling is pointed directly at rich Republican donors, and specifically one of Karl Rove's PAC's.
If these 501(c)4's are so legit, why is it they are the ones hiding in the shadows?
