Corporations and Politics

Carter you should run for office some day.

Why should the New York Times corporation have the right to publish it's opinion as to who should or should not be elected, while the Mobile Corporation should not? Every election cycle we hear from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, CNN, FOX, and others around election time, and you have to be a complete fool to try and deny that a lot of what they say is 'electioneering communications.'

Let everyone speak to his heart's content, and let all listeners beware.

Let everyone speak to his heart's content, and let all listeners beware.

So, you've only gotten half way through the argument. Sure, you can't jump from "a corporation is a legal 'person'" to "a corporation has free speech rights" -- that just not enough; you need something more. And, I think we have that -- a corporation is just an association of people. And, don't associations of people have free speech rights?

The real reasons that the democrats are all up-in-arms over this is that it blunts one of their political tools -- pick an industry and paint it as a bad guy. You don't like Tobacco Companies, Insurance Companies, Oil Companies, Car Companies, Banks or Gun Companies? Great -- campaign against them, because THEY CAN'T FIGHT BACK. Now, that whipping boy is gone.

If an Impala can speak let it speak.28 states already allowed corporations to donate to the candidate of their choice.Very little changed.

It's amazing how much disinformation our supposedly objective media is throwing out about this decision. It does NOT allow corporations to donate to candidates! It does NOT allow foriegn corporations to make campaign expenditures! All it does is strike down the unconstitutional and undemocratic laws that censored political speech by some corporations, while allowing others to say anything they wanted.

All the previous restrictions on donations to political campaigns remain intact. Corporations and unions, which have been spending quite a bit on political advertising via PACs, will continue to do so as before. What they can also do now that they could not do before is buy their own TV and radio commercials and explicitly endorse or attack candidates, right up to when the polls close. The ruling also affirms that they must abide by disclosure laws that require them to identify themselves in those ads.

The practical effect of it all is that if a corporation is trying to influence your vote you will know which corporation it is right up front because they will have to say so in their ads. That's a big improvement over PAC funded ads, which reveal the name of the PAC but not the donors to that PAC.
