Dr. Larry Jacobs from the Humphrey institute (University of Minnesota) talks about the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision and how it will impact the 2010 elections in Minnesota, particularly Target's donation to MN Forward.

JACOBS: "Money is now going to be the gateway to having a super-charged voice... Whether it balances or whether it tilts the battle for public office..."

1. Just a thought. One-half the country does not vote. These should

be our voters and if we were a real Democratic Party
focused on the Middle Working Class, Working Poor and Poor.
(Social and Economic Justice) we would have so many voters
it would not matter how much money the Corporations and
Businesses Spent on elections.

Just a thought since we only focus on the same exact group
as Republicans. Rich Upper Middle Class and just enough
working class to hopefully get us over the top.

2. We had an organization that did exactly what you suggest-

They were called ACORN.

3. To the "christians" who don't like the gay marriage ruling..

We don't think corporations are human beings but that didn't stop the activist supreme court from shoving THIS down our throats!
