What Does Freedom of Speech Mean For Us the People?

I feel that since these corporations have gained the right of freedom of speech and allowing not putting a limit to what the corporations are allowed to contribute to politic is going to corrupt our political system. I feel that now that these massive corporations now have the rights that we will no longer have a say in the way we want our government to function, I now feel that our insects will be but on the back burner because the political parties are going to be focusing more on the needs that the corporations are requesting. After all they are the ones that are going to invest huge amounts of money to these political parties now. As President Obama called it “a major victory for big oil, Wall Street banks, health insurance companies and the other powerful interests that marshal their power every day in Washington to drown out the voices of everyday Americans.” I feel that the people that were for this law were not taking in mind the way that this decision is going to effect the majority of our population the only ones that they were considering is them selves and how much more money they could be making.

  2. I totally agree with you on this. I think it would as well have a huge effect on our economy. i also agree with you in the sense that many people wont be heard because they will be to busy dealing with what the corporations want and only because they have more money. It is selfish and it isn't fair to the people who really do have something to say.

  3. I agree with this. I agree that the people who were approving this law were not considering the majority of the people and were highly influenced by money they would be gaining by approving this law. You make some very good points in your blog.

  4. I think that the points you bring up about this situation is true. I agree with the arguments in your blog. Now that the corporations are involved in politics, it doesn't make it really fair. Corporations bring in a lot of power because of the money they have which corrupts democracy in a way.
