Corporate Campaign Spending

The supreme court's rejection of corporate campaign spending limits ignores an important point. People - not dollars - have the right to free speech. Organizations of people have that right to the extent that their members agree to the speech, one person, one vote. Corporations don't work that way. They represent stockholders who control them in proportion to their stock ownership. If corporate decisions regarding political speech were made with the approval of their stockholders - one person, one vote - there would be no conflict.

I believe there are, and should be, limits on political spending by individuals. Similar limits should be imposed on organizations, based on the numbers of people they represent.
