“Humans are born with a full set of powers; they are not given to them by the government. In fact, the opposite is true: As the declaration states, government derives all its power from the consent of the governed.

Corporate power to act in the world is significantly different.”

Could This Actually End Citizens United?
Could This Actually End Citizens United? YouTube video by Robert Reich

Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United.

No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed.

This is no joke.

Here's how it works. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

The Senate must reject this bill.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

There’s never enough money for schools or healthcare or veterans.

But there’s always enough money to bomb people on the other side of the world.

We can support the democracy movement in Iran without bombing innocent schoolchildren and sending our American troops off to die.

Roughly half of U.S. workers wouldn’t pay taxes under Democrat’s plan Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s tax relief plan could benefit tens of millions of middle-class workers, with a focus on those making at or below a living wage.

Very unfortunately, a very rare L from Senator Van Hollen. We cannot continue to hollow out the tax base if we want to be able to fund the programs that will make our country less unfair. There simply isn't enough money only at the top. If we wanna look like Europe, we have to tax like Europe.

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.
