http://storyofcitizensunited.org ---- Season Two launches on March 1st with The Story of Citizens United v. FEC, an exploration of the inordinate power that corporations exercise in our democracy.
And, for all you fact checker out there,

The [1st] Amendment is written in terms of “speech,” not speakers. Its text offers no foothold for excluding any category of speakers, from single individuals to partnerships of individuals, to unincorporated associations of individuals, to incorporated associations of individuals…Indeed, to exclude or impede corporate speech is to muzzle the principal agents of the modern free economy. We should celebrate rather than condemn the addition of this speech to the public debate.

Hey Mstaff657, you're a moron. "The" woman you refer to is on the money w/ these corporate pillagers and it's spelled "Prozac" you utter bonehead. You sound-yet again- more like another bloodsucker who's tapped into the vein of the public trust.

@synapse131 I operate our family business - in 1977 my father led the the battle against the union the employees voted the parasites out. In 1989 I the work weed to 4 ten hour days weekend operators have 30hrs. The company always paid scale, the difference - all the benefits go directly to the employees, instead of Lazy trouble makers & corrupt politicians.
