- It just infuriates me! I feel we are losing our democracy. The corporations are taking over and deciding who gets elected.
- Our right to alter our government must be used to sweep these halls clean of greedy interests.
- The Supreme Court, representing a radical fringe that does not share the despair of the grand majority of Americans has today made things considerably worse by undoing the modest reforms I walked for and went to jail for and that tens of thousands of other Americans fought very hard to see enacted. The Supreme Court now opens the floodgates to usher in a new tsunami of corporate money into politics.
