Thank you Senator Sanders for your constitutional ammendment to stop Citizens United, and thank you for being one of only seven Senators who posessed the wisdom, ethics and guts to vote against the 2012 NDAA. (It's a shame that President George W. Obama doesn't have those same qualities, as he demonstrated by signing the 2012 NDAA)

As always, Senator Sanders is speaking for all Americans and not just Vermont. Thanks from NC, we need someone like you.

@x0PUNKER0X Yes, we can agree to disagree. Shalom. :)

@Aquimedes1: I don't like everything Obama has done, but I don't agree that he has been bought. I do think much of Congress has been, though. We agree we disagree.

[Aquimedes1]

@x0PUNKER0X Obviously we are not communicating well. I thought you were trying to defend Obama by saying he is not influenced by donations and he just "listens" to everyone.

My point is that all these guys who take money from Wall Street Inc. ARE influenced by them, including Democrats, along with Obama. If you want to continue this discussion, you can go on Facebook and search for "Ronin Liberals of OWS (RL-OWS)" and we won't have typing limits on comments.

@x0PUNKER0X Using the logic that a politician (Obama for instance) can take money and not do what they tell him to do; means that the CU decision should not be a big deal.

It's true that a Politician is not obligated to support legislation which favours big donors... But in reality we know they do vote for that type of leg. And that means Obama will also do that, not just blue dogs/GOP. Or else why is CU a problem (rhetorical).

We know money corrupts. Even Obama...

@Aquimedes1:Obama accepts donations. Obama "listens" to everyone. That doesn't mean he does what they tell him to.

I'm not saying there aren't blue dog Democrats in Congress. We need to change campaign finance, ammend Citizens United. That's the problem.

[Aquimedes1]

@x0PUNKER0X So you're saying that Obama is NOT taking money from Wall Street Inc. and Big Businesses? And you're saying that he has shut the door on secret Lobbyist meetings? They now meet across the street so they don't have to sign in.

Wake up. The Democrats are bought politicians too. And if you think they can take all that money and not give Wall Street Inc. favoured treatment then there is little I can say to convince you otherwise...
