Fight the Power

In the late 1850’s Massachusetts Sen. Charles Sumner fought as a
radical Republican against the “Slave Power” that he felt was
extending slavery into newly forming states and even into existing
Free states by dint of its ever increasing political power.

Today we face the onset of “Corporate Power” which is insidiously
taking over statehouses, courthouses and now our beleaguered Federal
government.

This Corporate power has a single goal; to reduce workers to a state
of complete powerlessness.

We are no longer represented by our Congress; instead the oligarchs,
“malefactors of great wealth” select and support bought-and-paid-for
legislators who will dance to their paymasters tune.

We must support candidates who are free of the influence of money. We
must reverse tainted decisions (like Citizens United) by passing a
Constitutional amendment that says corporations are not people and
that money is not speech.
