Citizens United against..."Citizens United"

The title refers to the SCOTUS decision in the case "Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission", which made substantial changes to recent election reforms and granted 1st Amendment protections to non-living, non-citizen entities.  As I said in a previous post (Control and Power of 20May05) the difference between an actual person and a corporation is vital...or, if you would like a quip, vitality. The very reason we have to deal with this is absurd but the effects are anything but a laughing matter.  I suggest you read up and pay attention to this and its effects; to see this happening is quite amazing, though-it is quite rare to witness such a blatant grab for power in the U.S.A.
