Tired of the Billions of Corporate dollars spent to influence and buy our politicians, so Corporate America can have a government thats good for greed driven CEO's like Mitt Romney, but not good for the rest of America ? All you have to do is go back to the United States Supreme Court Decision regarding " Citizen's United ". The five Republican Supreme Court Justices voted in favor of allowing the wealthy to donate unlimited amounts of money to our candidates. The four Democratic Supreme Court Justices voted against it. The dissenting Democratic Justices stated that the five Republican Justices just allowed " The Corruption of Our Democracy ". So next time you get tired of the Corporate CEO's " Profits over People " agenda running the show in Washington D.C., remember the five Republicans in the highest court in our land, who decided that money is speech. |

I want to believe that justices are not affilated with any party and their decisions are based only on "what's better for the country". i want to believe that but seems that there is something wrong with our Supreme Court and justices behave like the moost important party members . they are just another broken part in our system.... |

This is a slap in the face to the American people by those Supreme Court Justices who have more power than the President and are on the bench for life. Instead of making rules that would limit terms to congress and the senate as it should be they are taking sides and being influenced by Corporate America just like those Congressmen and Senators that continues to erode our society and way of life. I am for free enterprise where everyone is free not just the top 1%.

Go to movetoamend.org to protest the Supreme Court " Citizen's United " decision that allows Corporate $$$$$ to influence and corrupt our Democracy. It's up to us to change the direction of our government, so they start listening to everyday American's concerns, instead of the Wealthy few. If you dont make the effort, then dont complain when your Social Security and Medicare benefits get cut to pieces. Most Corporate Billionaires dont care about our plight.
