Because corporations are not citizens, they should be permitted no
influence in government policy.


By this logic then organizations such as the AOPA, AARP, NRA and PTA
should
have no influence?


While those groups certainly are corporations, they do represent their
members (hundreds of thousands of citizens) unlike Halliburton, Enron,
Exxon, Accuweather, Carlyle Group, ..., that exert more legislative
influence than the lawmakers' own constituents.

Big business only represents greed, and their unethical
(Abramoffesque) corruption of legislators must be stopped.



So it's just companies that you don't agree with for one reason or another
that shouldn't have influence? I'll make sure when the reform laws are
passed we legislate that you get the final OK on who gets free speech.

The problem isn't the companies doing the influencing and not really the
politicians that allow themselves to be to be influenced. The problem is the
voters that keep reelecting the politicians.

Everybody thinks Congress as a whole sucks but love their own rep and/or
senator.
