Has Big Business, once and for all, bought America?
Is it all over?
I think we would have maintained our majority, albeit narrower, in the House Of Representatives, if not for the Citizens United ruling by the Supreme Court. And that was only with a month or two to work the system.
The corporatists are going to be working the telephones year-round from now on, raising billions of secret dollars to spend, defaming the peoples' candidates.
And nothing will stop it, short of a Constitutional Amendment,
And that's never going to happen as long as Republicans and corporate Democrats run the Congress and the state houses.
Are we in a kind of "catch-22" situation?
