re: #322 harrylook

More specifically, on your point about OWS, I’m not worried about rich “peoples’” speech. I’m worried about their influence on Congress. As I age, I am more and more in favor of term limits and stricter conflict of interest rules for congressmen. I think that’s a better solution than restricting speech.

Not too easily separated.

If ‘rich people’ (let’s use the Koch Brothers as an example) decide to exercise their ‘speech’ rights by dumping 5 or 10 million into close Senate elections, their ‘speech’ and their ‘influence on Congress’ become one and the same thanks to Citizens United.

How does OWS compete with that?
