How is that?

How were people being denied those rights before citizens united?

Are corporations people, my friend? Are corporations people? Because THAT is what I find in you, when all of the **** and flowers are past - Mitt's mutt, mouthing mixed up monkey malarkey like a moronic mook.

God created people. People created corporations. Corporations created morons. Morons bought the idea that corporations are people. So, what came first, the chicken or the progressive, nanny state, neocon asswipe?

Dude, this has been discussed and shown to you. Your failure to read it is very telling of your motivations and ideology.

Corporations, UNIONS, and associations are not people. But the people who comprimise those corporations, UNIONS, and associations are free to associate and work for common goal. The USSC in NAACP V Alabama ruled that it is a constitutionally gauranteed freedom.

Further more, Citizen's United ruled that these groups, UNIONS, corporations and associations ARE allowed to participate in electioneering communications within 60 days of a general election and 30 days of a primary. This case was simply about whether Citizen's United could air a film critical to Hillary with 30 days of the democrat primary in 2008 which was a result of the McCain Feingold Act of 2002. That it.

The case did not overturn the federal ban direct contributions to candidates or parties by UNIONS or corporations, it did not overturn the disclosure requirements, keeping both of them illegal.

If you are afraid of a TV or radio commercial discussing a candidate or issue you got problems. And if you are going to lecture me about this topic I suggest you educate yourself and stop spewing lies and talking points.
