Corporations are not people. Money is not speech. This is the end of democracy. Politicians are for sale. The wealthy are taking over our government. Plutocracy, oligarchy, kleptocracy, corporatocracy, neo-feudalism, 1% vs 99%, and fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling. Forty years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes, the dead rising from the grave, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, and mass hysteria!
Unless you’ve been living under a dragon for the past week, these have been the talking points that have been permeating political discussions since the recent Supreme Court decision on McCutcheon vs. FEC. It’s no different than the hysteria that erupted after the Citizens United decision, and it’s all based on the same gross misunderstanding of corporate personhood and what it exactly entails.
So as a lighthouse providing light through the pea soup-thick fog, I’m providing the following videos in order to clarity this political issue and educate others about corporate personhood and speech. They all pertain to Citizens United, but remain relevant to the current Supreme Court decision.
And no, you cannot dismiss this person as a “right-wing corporate shill.” To the contrary, he’s a left-wing ACLU lawyer who, unlike other "liberal" pundits, actually understands the Supreme Court decision.
So enjoy, and allow yourself to be educated:
The Founder: My Expression Of Gratitude
I want to take a brief moment to thank all of the elected officials (the Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Senators, Congressmen/women, Judges, Lawyers, Secretaries,), and all of the Ambassadors, writers, editors, artist, and everyone else who had worked so hard over the years to make this experiment such a success.
We were the very first Forum-based Group, the largest, the longest lasting, and had the best political art on deviantART. Everyone who came after us modeled themselves after us.
I cannot thank everyone enough for all that they contributed.

About Submissions
Dear DAPoliticalForumClub Members,
As you know, this group have submissions policy regarding deviations that get submitted here. I am going to post them here for future reference. This is to insure that, if you can't find the policy at Hansard-TheLaw, you can find them here:
Amendment III.. Respect Copyright.
Clause A. Do not copy and post entire copyrighted articles. If you wish to reference an article, provide a brief excerpt and include a link to the original source. Generally, excerpts should not exceed two or three paragraphs. This rule also applies to images in signature lines.
Clause B. Be aware, using someone else's artwork, even
Donald Trump, 45th POTUS!!
What does his inaugeration tomorrow mean to you? Do you bless and praise it, or curse and fear his taking the Oath of Office? Will you watch and cheer his taking the oath, or actively protest
Fidel Castro dead at 90.
The news out of Cuba is that Fidel Castro has died. Confirmed by his brother Raul, Castro's remains will be cremated.
His death marks the end of an era in many ways, and Fidel will remain a controversial figure for many years to come. Certainly, he is reviled by many in the Exile community. There is likely much celebrating in Miami and elsewhere. To many across Latin America and the developing world, he was a hero and icon of opposition to US Imperialism. He will be mourned wherever such persons are found.
That is all.

Okay, I have just reviewed all five videos (6 counting the one about "Is Obama Responsible For The Russian Troops In the Ukraine [Crimea]). It is a lot of information to assimilate, especially the concept that "More Money Spent Does Not Buy Elections".
I, also, reviewed many of the viewers comments, especially in the one "Corporations Can't Fool California". I was pleased to see, even with low voter turn-out, that even the millions more spent did not buy the election on Prop 16.
