With warm and fuzzy thanks to the Supreme Court of the United States

The "Citizens United" ruling by the Supreme Court, earlier this year, hurts all Americans, truth be told.  Some (young?) Republicans and those on the Right think it only hurts the Left and Liberals but the fact is, the millions and, likely, billions of dollars that will be spent by corporations on elections will hurt the entire country and put us even more in the hands of the corporations.  It's "us" little guys--the working class and all of us not making $100,000.00 per year against "them", the people and corporations with the money.  If we don't stand together and somehow legislate down the "Citizens United" ruling, we should all fear for Democracy.  And I don't say this to be melodramatic.
