Corporations may now actually edge out the lobbyists, and Unions providing the current Democrat fund raising advantage....got it.


Corporations were funding a lot of the lobbyists already. Now they can buy ads too.

Some Republicans are pretty displeased with this decisions too.

Haha

Legislators to CEO's:

Stop coming to us for favorable legislation.

Too funny. Now the crooked reps and greedy CEO's are trying to make each other look like the bad guy, so we won't know who to blame. Oh the horror.
