Reply #8: Lies wither in the face of facts. Facts are funny that way.

Fact: There are, unfortunately, many people who are walking billboards for the theft of our democracy. When these people of rigid mindset are forced to confront this reality, it will shatter their perceptions.

Fact: The Koch Brothers fund Americans For Prosperity and countless other front groups.



As I posted recently:

This is just the beginning of extensive collateral damage ahead for our democracy, thanks to the hard right-wing members on the Supreme Court, who unleashed the Citizens United ruling in January, 2010.

Citizens United, along with the nightmarish Dred Scott decision in 1857, will go down in history as two of the very worst decisions, if not the two most damaging, ever handed down by the Supreme Court.

And, thanks to the Supreme Court's Citizen United ruling this year, these billionaire-funded front groups will buy off the remaining pieces of our democracy.

It's the war of great wealth against all the rest of us. Regular citizens will no longer be able to influence the election process, because Big Money is now unleashed and is viciously stealing our representation from us.
