Its a great article, and for people making policy, defending rights, fighting corporations, it is a VITAL resource.

VITAL - Americas founding heroes fought hard to PREVENT Corporations. For exactly the reasons we suffer today.

I urge anyone interested in democracy, rights, workers and or a functioning economy to read it.

Since then, election spending has reached unprecedented heights and, meanwhile, the public has less and less insight into the sources of that money."
