Question for Alito, Joe Scum et al

[malaise]

Which corporations are American only and which are transnational?
How do you know if GM China pumps money for a RETHUG through GM USA?
What about the financial sector - how do you separate the money.

Those who are attempting to diss the President's knowledge on the subject should do a Cheney and go fuck themselves.
The truth is that the Supremes opened the floodgates.

1. And it's not just if their foreign corps. Ralph Nader (boo, hiss, yeah, I know) once sent a letter

to the top Fortune 100 companies based in the U.S. requesting that they say the pledge of allegiance to the flag before every board meeting. If memory serves, 68 responded, with only one accepting. The other 67 stated that they were multi-nationals and weren't about to pledge allegiance to any one country.
If this is true, and I believe it is, why do they get ANY say in the formulation of ANY national policy or have ANY say in any U.S. Federal, State or Local election? Maybe it's not being a traitor, but it's awfully damn close. And Alito and the other 4 are nothing more than their lapdogs.

5. The cynical brightside is

now we might have more transparency.




But somehow I doubt it.

6. I believe that Corporations can't contribute directly to a campaign

That hasn't changed. They can, however, but advertising for a campaign or an issue. So a corporation can lobby directly to the public on an election matter. :hi:
