How petty and corrupt are Democrats? If they don’t like what you have to say, they’ll
use the full force of the federal government to shut you up. They’ve already used the IRS on the Tea Party;
however, they need something a little more powerful to take on established organization
and people who have resources to defend themselves. Democrats need to change the First Amendment. The Daily Caller reported the following:
The proposed amendment,
sponsored by Democratic Sen. Tom Udall, would give Congress broad power to
shape campaign finance laws. It would effectively overturn the Supreme Court’s
2010 ruling in Citizens United v. FEC and 2014 ruling in McCutcheon v. FEC,
which struck down laws restricting when corporations and unions can spend money
on elections, and how much individuals can donate to candidates in a two-year
period.
This
is “the most important issue to Americans in years,” added Sen. Bernie Sanders.
“If people think this is some kind of esoteric issue, not related to jobs, the
economy, and wages, and women’s rights, and income and wealth inequality, and
healthcare and global warming, you are deadly wrong.”
“Why
do people like the Koch brother’s spend hundreds of millions of dollars?” he
continued. “If you understand what they stand for, and that is to end, do away
with social security, do away with medicare, do away with medicaid do away with
the concept of the minimum wage, do away with the environmental protection
agency — that is the struggle. They have an agenda.”
Sen.
Sheldon Whitehouse also pointed to the Koch Brothers as a reason for amending
the Constitution, and accused them of coercing Republicans into giving up on
climate change legislation. Before Citizens United, the Republicans had a
candidate for president willing to have a climate change plan, he said, and
brought a carbon regulations bill to the Senate floor. But now “the Koch
brothers, the biggest polluters in this country have gotten together, and
they’ve silenced them.”
Silenced
them? More like exposed them. I’ve got a solution if people really want to
get money out of politics and especially out of Washington D.C. We should repeal the 17th
Amendment and let States’ legislators decide who represents their interest, as
was intended by our founding fathers.
The progressive experiment has proven to be a failure; it’s time to
right this ship before Democrats turn this country into a totalitarian hell
hole.
