I'm sick of the highest bidder controlling our political process. 'Citizens United' is the 2010 Supreme Court decision that said we can't control corporate spending on elections (as we had done w/ McCain-Feingold), paving the way for the Age of SuperPACs, with their unregulated, massive "dark money" flooding the airwaves and muddling the issues. (I have collections of resources on money in politics, here and here)

If money is speech, then I don't have free speech, at least not as much as Coca-Cola or Exxon.
