@Colman @ShadSterling @dcjohnson there has been so much misinformation about Citizens United.
If you read the ruling Kennedy made it very clear, he went on at length in the ruling, that they were recognizing the roles of citizens uniting (ha) to take power back from the rich and influential.
As Kennedy said, the rich people were not restrained by these laws, so it was a mistake to say that me and you couldn't pool our resources in that way to speak truth to power.
CU absolutely did not transfer power to corporations. It simply recognized the legal ability, the constitutionally protected ability, for everyday people to associate with each other to express ourselves and not be drowned out by the rich.
