I just read this stunningly depressing article by Frank Rich one of my favorite editorialists. I don’t know who We the People hold back this tide of money unleashed by Citizens United. I make monthly donations to the President, and various candidates I support, but they are $25 to $50.00 dollars. Are there enough of us to counter this tsunami of money?
Maybe working the campaign, being on the ground to mobilize our voters and get them to the polls is the only answer. Of course that assumes they get to vote once they arrive at their voting precinct. We should be enlarging the rolls of voters, not suppressing the vote. That is the most unAmerican thing I can think of.
And torture. There was a great post at Andrew Sullivan’s blog this morning about the torture policies of the Bush administration. There have to be prosecutions or it’s just going to happen again. Freakin’ Poland is investigating their involvement with these policies, but the U.S. that started this evil practice lets it slide.
