I pledge allegiance to the flag

of the United States of America.

And to the Oligarchy,

for which it stands,

one nation, indivisible,

with Liberty, and Justice,

for the highest bidder.

"Of the people, by the corporations, and for the corporations."

This is not a matter of free speech. Corporations are not people. They are artificial legal entities. They have bottomless pockets and will be able to extort every single politician in America for profit.

If you think Washington is owned by the Banks and Wall Street now, just wait. We haven't seen anything yet. First to go will be all consumer protections.

If not changed, this will be the ultimate end of American democracy.

Our only option now is to somehow separate political campaigns from the $. Otherwise, we are totally owned by corporate, Once,they only dictated what we did 9-5. Now corporate can control all facets of our lives through elected reps.and laws.. Remember. their only concern is PROFIT.
