8 out of 10 Americans are opposed to the Extreme Court ruling endowing inalienable rights on corporations and other artificial "persons" and allowing them to make unfettered purchases of campaign advertising during elections, a Washington Post-ABC News poll found: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/17/AR2010021701151.html
In fact 65% of Americans are STRONGLY OPPOSED!
72% of the American Citizenry favor Congressional action to curb the ruling!
Furthermore, this opposition to the theft of OUR democracy crosses partisan lines with Democrats (85 %), Republicans (76 %) and independents (81 %) opposed.
3/4 of conservatives are opposed and most of them are strongly opposed.
2/3 of conservative Republicans favor Congressional action to curb corporate and union spending on elections.
Looks like there's still at least one thing that most rational Americans can agree on, we don't want more special interest influence in our politics.
