Quickly --
There is a continuing furor over the decision of the Supreme Beings (the Fascist Five on the Supreme Court) to allow virtually unlimited spending by corporations in elections. This decision, commonly known as Citizens United after the group of corporations (not citizens) who organized the court suit, continues to come up in conversation and e-mails. It is the poster boy for numerous web fund-raising groups. And with good cause.
My point here today is there is an increasing feeling that something is wrong with the system. It is this realization which is bringing a change in the winds. How strong these winds will ultimatelybe, and how fast, remains to be seen. But the direction seems clear, and that is a welcome development.
