Kucinich: Corporations can legally buy elections -He said this on the floor today.

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/01/24/kucinich-corporations-can-legally-buy-elections/

“One of the biggest stumbling blocks to America’s economic recovery is corporations can legally buy elections and then influence policies which move millions of jobs out of America, which escape taxation by off shoring profits, which cash in on wars, which press military industrial spending through the roof,” he said on the House floor.
