Jan. 2010 : "Supreme Court Decision Marks the End of Democracy"

May God help us all preserve our nation when the Federal DOJ will not act to prevent the Asarco Bankruptcy Fraud, our health/welfare is sold down the river to line the pockets of large attorney firms feasting off the fraudulent proceedings, and the Supreme Court not only meets to hear about possibly demolishing the honest services provision of the mail and wire fraud act - but, has marked the end of democracy by allowing corporations like Asarco, Grupo Mexico and Carlye Group to fully fund ANY candidates, without a monetary limit.

"
I hope we shall... crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and to bid defiance to the laws of our country." ~ Thomas Jefferson, letter to George Logan. November 12, 1816

 

The words above were written by Thomas Jefferson, one of the distinguished founding fathers of this nation. Clearly, neither he nor any of the other signers of the declaration of independence thought they were declaring freedom for big corporations, and yet that's what happened in the Supreme Court yesterday. Many are calling it the End of Democracy, for we have now sold our souls down the river of corporate greed.  As one pundit put it, we are looking at our last President and our last Congress which will not fully be funded by corporate giants. It is a sad day for issue advocacy, it is a sad day for all of us as Americans..."
