@RememberUsAlways sounds like you're buying into the common story that gets CU backwards.
In #CitizensUnited Kennedy wrote that because money was so prevalent in politics, the president should not be allowed to muzzle those of us with less money who want to organize to speak back against the rich.
If anything, if there is a correlation here, it's related to the propensity for Americans to believe misinformation about what topics like CU really entail.
We all need to correct those falsehoods... that strain of propaganda.
Things won't improve until we debunk those commonly believed myths.
