37. the fact is the corporations don't have to give the money directly to the candidate
What they will do is spend as much money as they want to stand up for a candidate or issue, or slam a candidate or issue.
This money will give them a huge opportunity to influence the election. I think it depends on how you look at it if they struck down 20 years or 100 years, that is not the point. This will have an impact on our elections and give corporations a stick to hold over every elected official to get them to vote the way they want.
We need public financed elections not corporate influenced extortion.
