When Senator McCain was asked about corporate influence in elections at Oxford University, he responded:
“They said money is free speech.
Since when is money free speech? Money is money.”
We need, as a nation, to overturn the Supreme Court's Citizen United ruling, let's be clear.
We need, also, to kill "campaign contributions."
We need, once and for all, to get the big, ugly, corrupting influence of money from the wealthy and corporations out of our election system and so, out of our government.
Until we do, nothing will change in America.
Our government will continue to be owned and controlled by the corporations and wealthy of the nation and world.
And the only way this will happen is if we, the people, agree on and demand it from them.
