Due to a five to four vote on January 21, 2010 the supreme court ruled that there is no more ban on corporate campaign money. Meaning that corporations and independent groups can spend unlimited amounts of funds for or against candidates for president and Congress.
I personally don't support this decision. I feel like it just gives people who want to make a difference but don't have the funds absolutely no chance to win an election because it is now more about affording to win.
And I compltely agree with Obama who said the decision was “a major victory for big oil, Wall Street banks, health insurance companies and the other powerful interests that marshal their power every day in Washington to drown out the voices of everyday Americans.”
This decision was just another way for our voices not to be heard, I think this was a terrible decision, and a sad day for the voices of every day Americans who want to make a difference.
