33. Wait a minute . . . Obama took in near $1 billion from ordinary citizens . . .

the difference between those ordinary citizens and the corporate elites is that THEY

have leverage over Obama and Democrats because they've essentially "bought" them and

have their lobbyists/enforcers on hand constantly to make sure the right things happen

to benefit their own interests.

Ordinary citizens contribute -- but have no leverage. THAT has to change!

Haven't heard any Democrats as yet call for RE-REGULATION . . . !!!

How can that be???

Of course we need to bar corporations from any participation whatsoever in our elections ---

Imagine . . . a private corporation controls the presidential debates--!!!
