Stop The Election Corruption - Fair Elections Now Act

STOP THE CORRUPTION


In this election season, politicians have been hitting the trail with tired rhetoric, partisan corruption allegations and pep rallies.

One thing we don't hear is how to correct the political corruption machine that drives politics.

Politicians have no choice but to sell their souls to the big-money interests funding their campaign operations. Campaign money is the political currency, like it or not.

The Citizens United ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court cemented the low standing of citizens in free speech allocation. Corporations and their astroturf lobbyists have the right to be heard as loudly as their money can speak, which is many decibels louder than the average citizen can muster.

Businesses have profit imperatives and are not defined by moral imperatives.

On the whole, people do have moral imperatives. We lost our way when we granted citizen rights to soulless entities.

The Fair Election Now Act is currently the best tool for gaining a more citizen-based campaign funding system on the national level.

Can it be true that these justices deem corporations as worthy of election influence as PEOPLE? Oh, please! If their expert advice is needed on an issue they can be heard by Congress AFTER the election.
