We need to overturn this idea and this court.

3. In today's climate the Constitution is impossible to amend. Imagine the |
|
number of ads the US Chamber of Commerce will air to stop the Amendment?

But we must not give up without a fight. I'm not saying it's easy, but it is the only way.

to vote against any Amendment.

7. And how can they convince you? |
|
You are going to have to accept that while everyone has a price, the Corporations cannot/will not pay it. Not for every voter. And it's still voters who pick Congress.

8. It's not that everyone has a price. Money talks most Americans |
|
can be easily manipulated to believe anything. I tell you what you go out and ask ten people on the street how they feel about the SCOTUS decision and I doubt even 2 of them would know what the hell you are talking about. The average Joe Sixpack can tell you who won every Super Bowl or who is on American Idol but couldn't tell you who Joe Biden is. For chrissake probably over 50% of them still think the HCR Bill has death panels. Probably at least 25% of them think there is an amendment in the HCR Bill that takes their guns away.

9. Educate, Educate, Educate! |
|
People are going to be a lot more receptive than they've been in ages. Because they aren't going to be all right any more.

2. How about If a corporation can be a citizen of the USA. The |
|
Republicans worry that illegals will be able to vote but a foreign owned corporation can literally buy the government of the USA.

They'll just lie to Congress and get away with it, just like Alito and Roberts did.

Alito and Roberts (and Thomas) have shown themselves to be liars (perjurers).
Edit: oops. I just discovered I copied another lucid poster verbatim.
