Email I sent my Senators & House Rep.

Dear ,

The Supreme Court is expected to announce a decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, that would for the first time since 1907 remove the barrier to all corporate financing of political campaigns. This extreme act of judicial activism is likely the final giant step in turning the U.S. from a representative democracy to government by the corporations for the corporations, aka fascism.

Please speak out against this trainwreck in the making for our country on Monday, before its expected announcement, and encourage your colleagues to do likewise. Perhaps one or more of the Justices in the majority will be moved to reconsider.

Sincerely,


More info on the subject can be found here and here.

1. 99% of Corporations are small businesses

I'm a small business owner and if your not you should be aware that being in business without the protection provided by forming a separate entity (a corporation) puts your personal property at sever undo risk. They are easy and inexpensive to form on your own and provide a legal barrier between your personal assets and the business liabilities and risk.

I realize the worry is that the uber corporations will get big unequal influence but right now they get it anyway by end-around means that us small guys can't. They can offer friends and family nice jobs, grant access to inside business information, etc. I can't do those things.

The people effectively shut out are us small corporations. WE drive the American economy NOT those uber waste corps. WE employ most Americans NOT those guys, why should WE get cut out of having a voice in the political process then? It's US that deserves a voice because WE contribute the most to this economy a little piece at a time.

I want this corporate gag removed. Small business drives this economy. It's unfair that because the big corps are villianized that small business has to stand by and be quiet.

Sorry if I sounded like I was ranting but people everywhere automatically think of the uber corp when the word corporation is used and don't realize those guys aren't going to gain near ass much as us small guys will in this.

Food for thought.
