“There are two things that are important in politics. The first is money, and I can’t remember what the second one is.” - - Mark Hanna

Popular outrage over corporate contributions reached a high point in the 1904 election and Congress passed the Tillman Act in 1907 to ban corporate contributions.

Over time, corporate influence has gained a foothold in the form of lobby groups, playing just as important a role as campaign contributions.

Now, the Supreme Court is preparing to hear a case which will question that constitutionality of the Tillman Act. This Supreme Court has a distinct conservative lean which aggressively champions the rights of corporations.

If the ban is struck down, the construct of a new Corpora-Fascist America will be almost complete. The final step will be to use the military to enforce Corporate Law.

The everyday tax payer may very well be nothing more than a host-body that corporate leeches will feed off of. Enjoy your freedoms while you can.

America is already fascist enough; if that law gets overturned, there will be no stopping Corporations from stealing your very life from you by exerting complete control over the government.
