re: #177 Aceofwhat?

corporations come in all different shapes, sizes, stripes, and colors. the SCOTUS left the disclosure requirements fully intact. we are better off leaving the first amendment the hell alone and just making sure that we citizens understand who is paying for what when we see political advertisements.

That sounds lovely in theory, in practice not so much. There are a million ways for those disclosure requirements to be completely avoided. Create a shell company to funnel the money to before directly using it to influence an election. Donate the money to the Chamber of Commerce, who then spends the money to influence politics without being force to disclose who the original donor was. And the list goes on and on and on.
