When votes of only five (5) non-elected single

individuals can sell out Americas voting rights to

foreign owned corporations who will most certainly

sway uninformed future voters with big money . . . .

. . . . it may be time for America to re-think about

which decisions should be made by public ballot.

as for corporate speech rights... ask an

average corporate worker who labors at or just over

minimum wage if their voice is heard as their

CEO takes home multi millions $ each year.

My fellow Americans we the people no longer have the power to put who we want in power. Corporations will rule over us, every citizen has just one vote and not much money to back that vote. The entire electoral power has now shifted to corporations. WE MUST put enormous pressure upon the government to have this decision overturned. It we WE THE PEOPLE...NOT WE THE CORPORATIONS.....The Supreme Court has sold out America and Every U.S. Citizen. We are now 2nd class citizens.We must Fight back.

Thank you for your video! Please search on YouTube Corporations Aren't People. There is a viral video contest to try and get people stirred up about this. Please check out and consider joining all the voice. We must speak out!

If corporations did not have free speech then the New York Times, MSNBC and YouTube would not have free speech. Congress could regulate every article, show, video and even youtube post.

If foreigners did not have free speech then Congress could ban the Communist Manifesto, the Origin of the Species and Mein Kampf because they were written by foreigners.

If Kofi Anan writes a book critical of Bush and a foreign corporation publishes it then I have the right to read and congress cannot ban it.

I think the flag in the background should be upside down.

For foreign countries, U.S. politics is now their playground.

The notion that a corporation should be able to buy elections under the guise of free speech protection is asinine. Every corporate employee who is a citizen of the US, already has the the right as an individual to support any candidate of their choosing without the direction or aid of their employer. It is clear that the 5 members of the US Supreme court that voted to repeal the restrictions are a frightening mix of crazy and stupid.
