Here’s my opinion:
The biggest threat to the United States Constitution is the “Citizen’s United” decisions from our Supreme Court. Not only giving corporations “People Status” as voters but allowing unlimited money contribution to be made anonymously. Corporations or rich individuals to pour in campaign money without I.D. A grave injustice to constitutional law and threatens the “one man one vote guarantee. But, I am not the only one to make this horrific discovery.
However, here is just one ramification of this ill-conceived court decision. Where does the money come from? What one entity or corporation wishes to press its will on the general electorate? Even scarier, what foreign person or government wants to invoke its hidden agenda on the American electorate? Perhaps China? Russia? North Korea? Venezuela, Iran? Money filtering into the election process without accountability or discloser. Money indiscriminately pouring into the general media influence mix without a voters I.D. Voting without registration. Voting with a big “X” and negating the general wishes of the American voting people.
In the meantime, many American Citizens are shut out of the voting process because of not having a voting I.D. Older voters without a valid birth certificate but had voted legitimately in dozens of previous elections. People denied because of expired drivers licenses. Voters whose names were stricken from the voter registration for no apparent reason. There are hundreds of newspaper stories supporting this claim.
None the less, if you have cash and plenty of it and wish to remain anonymous, you get to vote. Money talks. Money votes big. However, Money trumps legitimate voting American citizens.
The Citizen’s United Supreme Court decision has been by far the worse decision ever handed down to the American people. Making unidentified bundles of money the biggest decision factor in current elections and elections to come. Mostly demeaning and discouraging the One Man (woman) one vote American system.
