The Gutting of the Constitution Continues

The ability of Corporations to make unlimited political contributions is now reality. Clearly, the US Supreme Court is not always the friend of Individual Liberty.

The Democrat and Republican parties have prostituted themselves to the corporations, at our expense, before President Eisenhower’s stern warning to us in 1961, and increasingly since. Such a Ruling Elite has little interest in advocating and legislating for the American people in preference to their better-paying customers.

Corporate entities, treated under law as human beings, hold rights greater those of actual humans. I believe that many are guilty of a sort of economic treason, and we flesh-and-blood humans live in a form of economic servitude that has been growing for generations.

Federal debt has crippled the economic future of our grandchildren, and there is more to come. It is long past time for our servitude to the criminal Ruling Elite to end. Throughout its history, America’s willingness to help other nations, rooted in the Judeo-Christian belief that we are our brother’s keepers, has been legendary. Now, it's time to save ourselves.
