Dear America, We think . . . . .
. . . . . it is important to be involved in charting the course of our country's politics. We think that anyone who owns property and employs people has as much right to speak out as those who do not. We think it is important to protect people who own property and employ people who speak out from the dangers that might come their way if certain factions knew their identity. We think they need to remain anonymous. We think you don't need to know.

So fuck you.

Signed:
The US Chamber of Commerce

1. Furthermore, America, the problem with "one person, one vote" is that some of us are
responsible for an inordinate amount of the wealth, resources, and jobs in this country. We take those responsibilities seriously. But to effectively manage America, Inc. and all its assets, we need the freedom to make decisions that may be unpopular. That is why we support a policy of using dollars to enhance our votes in government. The freedom to use the resources we manage in order to influence politics is an important counter to the "one person, one vote" bias in our current system.

PPS: Fuck you, even so.
