A Call To Action

Although I am very politically active, I don't like using this blog as a forum for me to air my political grievances. But this issue is just far too important to be silent on.

This morning, in a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court handed the keys to the country over to the corporations. They have ruled that corporations have the right to spend unlimited amounts of money to support the candidates of their choice. What we have seen is a coup de'tat -- a silent, bloodless one, but a coup no less.

Some people are standing up. Congressman Alan Grayson has introduced several bills to try and fight against this decision and President Obama has issued his firm commitment to form a bipartisan opposition to this ruling. Grayson has begun a petition, which you can find at SaveDemocracy.net. I urge everyone to sign and circulate this petition and to do everything in your power to fight against the Corporate States of America.
