The United States Supreme Court Hands Corporations Exactly What They Wanted.

Here is the article, or you can follow the link.

WASHINGTON – Sen. John McCain says the movement he led to reform how political campaigns are financed is dead.

McCain says the Supreme Court has spoken on the constitutionality of political contributions by corporations. The Arizona Republican had sought to regulate them with a landmark campaign finance law he wrote with Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis.

Last week the Supreme Court ruled that corporations may spend as freely as they like to support or oppose candidates for president and Congress.

McCain says there's not much that can be done about campaign financing now. Still, he predicts a backlash over time from voters once they see the amount of money that corporations and unions pour into political campaigns.

McCain spoke Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation."

What the President Said About the Ruling

Here is an excerpt from the article:

“This ruling strikes at our democracy itself,” Mr. Obama said, adding: “I can’t think of anything more devastating to the public interest. The last thing we need to do is hand more influence to the lobbyists in Washington, or more power to the special interests to tip the outcome of elections.”

debacle that is taking place in Ecuador. They left a polluted mess in the Amazon Rain Forest the size of New Jersey. Now that the oil is all gone, they leave and don't want to clean up the mess they made.

These oil companies are allowed to make billions in profits, and cannot even spend a few million to restore the land, rivers and streams.
