fighting corporate money in politics...

anticipating a supreme court decision that could free corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money on political campaigns, rep. alan grayson (d-fla.) introduced five bills on wednesday to choke off the expected flood of corporate cash. "we are facing a potential threat to our democracy," grayson said in an interview with the huffington post. "unlimited corporate spending on campaigns means the government is up for sale and that the law itself will be bought and sold. it would be political bribery on the largest scale imaginable." at issue in the supreme court case is whether the government can limit corporate spending during presidential and congressional campaigns// arthur delaney, 01.14.10, huffington post
