Murray Hill debate Van Hollen.....
SILVER SPRING, Md. -- Eric Hensal, the designated human delegate of public relations firm Murray Hill Inc., basked in the newfound political influence corporations enjoy.

"If you have to throw weight, you have to throw weight. This is capitalism and these are laissez faire policies," Hensal told the 150 people gathered Tuesday night in Northwood High School's cafeteria-turned-debate hall before imploring them to support corporations' rights to spend as much money as they please to affect elections.

"Murray Hill wants to put a logo on your candidate," retorted Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), telling the audience that the Supreme Court's January decision in campaign finance case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission will allow large corporations to gain undue influence over candidates.
