Campaign Money

In Japan, political kingpin Ichiro Ozawa is mired in controversy because his party might've been funded by undisclosed sources with vested interests.

Meanwhile back in the US, the Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court has allowed for this, this, this, this, this, and this. In case you don't want to click on the links, anonymous foreign, domestic, corporate, private, and crooked money sources have been funding attack ads nationally.

It might be time for some of this.

Maybe a constitutional amendment is too far. But so is Citizens United.

Which country is practicing American democracy better?

  1. I didn't feel any sort of obligation to click those links. So, I got nothing out of your post!

    But yeah, I agree that Citizens United is terrible. What I'm more concerned with is whether anything has actually been done about it and to what effect, as well as what still needs to be done.
