'petition' page. But it still isn't a full amendment. I would like to see a full
proposed amendment to understand what is specifically being proposed.

BTW The Michigan legislature last week called for an Article V Convention

(although they want to limit it to a balanced budget amendment).

This isn't THE solution, but it a big part of A solution. Geeze, some people want a rainbow-farting pony...

Actually... that would be a vast improvement.





Classy...

My comment was in support of you and against the person denigrating the OP. Limiting corporate contributions would be a really good thing to do. Yeah, it doesn't support what the SC decision was about, but it's a really good step to take. The idea of fighting against it because it doesn't do everything strikes me as wanting rainbow-farting ponies.

And I wasn't very clear in my message.

You captured what I was thinking quite well

exists) could spend tens of thousands of dollars in a local judicial races to punish or reward judges according to the judges' treatment of the millionaire in court. I am assuming that this ruling will apply to local and state races eventually.

It means that small donations to a candidate from real, working people who earn their money honestly can be overwhelmed by the huge donations of criminals who have earned their money dishonestly -- illegally.

It makes a joke of the idea of one person, one vote.

I'm not supporting the ruling but I think we need to be accurate about what happened...

1) This was a ruling on FEDERAL election laws, not State or Local.

2) This limited the AGGREGATE contributions a person can make, not the CONTRIBUTION LIMIT for each race.

I realize that a federal law was overturned, but wouldn't the determination that speech rights reach political donations ultimately suggest that state laws could be invalidated?

Do you have alink to the decision?

And aggregate contributions can affect individual races although it is less likely that they will in local and state elections. The aggregate contributions can buy what used to be called a machine, what has been called a slate.

And, yes, it will mean that a very wealthy crook, say a child molester, could have inordinate influence on an election and even get himself elected. It already happens and could become more likely.

JUST DO IT

And will give them all the support I can...I wish I could do more because Chenk is right, this is the way to do it and it needs to be done.
