ParticipantFunny, the first amendment says nothing about the first amendment right to free speech applying to ‘humans’ as opposed to corporations.
It says: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech…”
And I find it funny that so many of you are insinuating that foreigners are not covered by our constitution when that is exactly what people have been saying in support of the civil trials of the Guantanamo prisoners…who are clearly foreigners.
Finally, let’s not forget…is it right that Fox or MSNBC gets free reign as a corporation to spout whatever viewpoint on their ‘news’ programs they want while non news corporations are essentially neutered with respect to the political process?
Admit it, you have no problem with corporate involvement in elections if it helps YOUR guy. You’re just worried that it is going to help the OTHER guy.
Frankly, we need to hold ALL of our representatives accountable to make sure that they aren’t favoring corporate constituents at the expense of the populace. This influence already exists. Maybe this will be a wakeup call for people to get off their asses.

Except for this little nugget…
[quote=TheBreeze]Oh, and after Obama rescues the U.S. from certain doom and returns this country to prosperity, AN and FLU will switch their voter registration to Democrat and buy Hillary Clinton nutcracker dolls and Obama “Yes We Can” bumper stickers.[/quote]
I predict a bloodbath for the Democrats in the polls in 2010…Obama supporters are turning on him and Congress in droves.[/quote]
Maybe you don’t recognize humor when you see it…I am pretty sure that paragraph was written in jest.[/quote]
Oh Breeze most certainly believes the first portion of the sentence…that’s certainly a joke but it wasn’t in jest.
