You assume that they do not have corporate interests in mind.


The Citizens United Decicion shows otherwise.

The common man is screwed as long as these monkeys in our 3 branches monopolize power.

1:

2: We can agree to disagree. That decision gives more power to foreign corporations than the common citizen of America.

3: I do, and every time I do, I get screwed by the same old stuff. I am non partisan in my votes, and still. Same old garbage, just a different letter by the name (D or R)

Sad state of affairs really.

Someone posted that earlier already and I must ask the same question I did then:
What exactly is it about? It's definitily has very little to do with SOPA.

TotalBiscuit can give a better explain on what's wrong with that video:

That has to be one of the best Downfall videos out there. The Disney line is pure brilliance.

Every American should call their senators and representative about this. I've done it, and it only takes a few minutes. Many of our Congressmen are too stupid or too venal to do the right thing on their own, so you have to do what you can to force them.
