The amount of money in the 2012 election is insane 500 million so far! Corporations are not people, and letting them act as sutch has destroyed the fundemental voice of the individual...because we cannot compete with the opinion of the "corporate individual"($500,000,000 with 75 days till 2012 election) makeing $12,500 a year. Hindsight
The Alec has the House of Representatives wrapped around its little finger.
Stealth Lobby Groups abound.Media is purely Conservative(extreme right). John Stewart has been the "Most trusted name in news"for at least 2 years, this means News Satire has out preformed mainstream news in delivering the truth to us.
in the past 2.5 years these Corporations acting as individuals working through stealth lobby groups in asociation with stateand federal legislators have circumvented, undermined and/or eliminated completly any regulation put in place to protect us from their GREED.
As a citizen of this great nation i realize the Government isnot my enemy, it may look as sutch on the surface...but we all know we should not judge a book by its cover.
the governments power is based on Legislation, any change in this legislation, forces the Government to change its behavior, resulting in the Illusion that the Government is against us in some way.
these groups(ALEC, Americans for Prosperity etc..)are fundementaly changeing our legislation at the state level, avoiding congress all together.
in some way i am glad we have Gridlock in congress right now!!!
between the ALEC's grip on state legislation, and Americans for Prosperity's grip on congress and beond with its "no new tax, ever" pledge, the Senate has been the only circuit breaker. i mean imagine if the house has had its way, we would have nothing and owe everything by now.
i feel if this failed ideology being forced upon us nationaly, is not stopped, and soon, the damage being done one corporate bill at a time, will become too complex to ever reset.
i am seeing polititians talk about unchaining the banks, shutting down Planned Parenthood, privatizing medicare and medicade, social security in the stock market, dismantling the dept of education, i have even heard the term "legitamate Rape"(todd akin, R wis)!
How can this be real, in the 2.5 years these people(corporate individuals) have lost their colective minds, and are now living in a totally different reality from us, i feel as a citizen that we are in the way of their agenda and we (lower, middle and some upper class)will be mowed over as they get more and more of what we do not have.
One reconciles through "Understanding of Compromise".
you start by realizing your Opinion and/or Belief is one of many, and that the many don't always see eye to eye.
Then you Understand that the other Opinions and/or Beliefs have as much right to exist as yours does.
Then through public, non-partison, unbiased, nondiscrimitory open debate a Compromise can be reached that will, if not satisfy, at least bennefit all parties involved.
The key to a good Compromise is that NOBODY leaves the table happy, but EVERYBODY leaves the table feeling they were heard and understood
As far as NCSL being funded in part by OUR tax dollars....At least its an organization of ELECTED Officials, voted into office, holding a seat of power granted them by "WE THE PEOPLE" through a public and legitimate vote.
Taxes are the price we ALL must par for Civilization!
Civilization (Roads, Bridges, schools, Healthcare, Law Enforcement, Environment, Legislative Bodies, Judicial systems, POTUS, Cities, Townships, Villages, Etc...Etc...Etc) depends on Tax Revanue garnished from the Citizens, Private, Public, and Corporate alike. It's why we call it a "Tax and Spend" Society.
I DO NOT believe the Private Sector of any nation has the willingness or ability to responably manage "Civilization" with the citizens best intrest at heart. It is unreasonable to expect any "Profit Based Organization" to operate with anything but the "Stock Holders" interests in mind. Logic.
I find it fasanating how you can defend a group (ALEC) that openly lies about its actions and intensions, their records alone make it nye impossible to refute. How is "above board" Dishonesty acceptable in any way or form?
I was tought that "Truth is closest to Reality, and that Reality equals Truth"
What you speak Sir, is Un-Truth (a lie, designed to discredit and confuse) Therefore it is a "Hollow Reality" with no real substance what so ever.
You must be a Troll working for the ALEC.
P.S. "I Think I Know What I Believe"...yet, in the name of Bi-Partisanship..."I'm Not Sure I Believe What I Think I Know"
Think about it. An open mind is a terrible thing to waste! :-)
What they really mean is "an attempt to expose the man behind the curtan," "an attempt to spend money like we do, in order to influence an election," "an attempt to use their free speech to shut down OUR free speech," "an attempt to expose our supply side trickle down snake oil to the uneducated masses," "an attempt to impose a communist, Islamic state and take all our precious wealth and give it to fat, lazy welfare mommas," "an attempt to take away our traditional, filthy, and dangerous energy sources," "an attempt to refuse to be bullied by the all American bullet headed Saxon mother's son." Remember what John Lennon said about these people for whom "happiness is a warm gun".

Sheldon, you are justifying the Pentagon lying to the public and state propaganda. Is your middle name Goebbels by any chance?
