Corporate shill Dennis Kneale nervous of scotus ruling.
Says public already pissed at banks and insurance companies. Scotus ruling will make public even more mad.

We have got to use this anger to make our politicians do something instead of cowering in front of business. If we can't get it now we are screwed.

6. Tell our congresspeople the system needs to be fixed.
This really was what Obama wanted from us: A massive uprising from the people demanding accountability from our reps. But it didn't materialize because we left him to do the heavy lifting.

When he couldn't get it done because he really has no force of personality all that anger got directed towards him.

In retrospect we need to do our part. Now that anger is stirred and Obama is not the target he and we need to channel it to move our scared congress people.

5. He is a cnbc host.
I can't stand him (I frequently yell at the tv when he us on) but I thought it was mighty prescient of him.

We need corporations to wonder if we will boycott them because of their lack of corporate citizenship. They can't be shamed. It must be about the bottom line AND the threat of massive regulation.

4. I'll bet a lot of Repug rank and file aren't too crazy about this
and might not care for how their leaders like the ruling.

I think an amendment movement would be a good idea right now. Drain off some of that teabagger shit - got to protect America from the multinational corporations and George Soros.

Not to mention the amendment itself would be a good idea...

8. If you want to get some of the teabaggers on board
just ask them if they want the corporations that received the bailouts owning our system of government. You could also throw in a mention of mult-nationals that are subject to foreign influence.

7. How about a constitutional amendment eliminating "corporate personhood"?
That would be a nice start.
