[EL] CU postings

[Frank Askin]

MCFL made the distinction between ideological associations (even though
incorporated) and business corporations for purposes of political
advocacy very clear.  Unfortunately, Citizens United muddied the waters.

So many people, when they hear the word "corporations", have a
knee-jerk response that "corporations" means huge for-profit
corporations.  But I believe that the vast majority of corporations in
the U.s. are not huge for-profit businesses.  Many corporations are
created by "little people."

The Libertarian Party National Committee is a corporation.  I always
wonder if people on this list know that, or care.  Does anyone really
believe that a minor party should be barred from commenting on
candidates?

I'm a lurker and a layman to boot, but I feel 
compelled to write by Jim Bopp's latest postings. I frankly am stunned
at 
the chutzpah being displayed by Atty 
Bopp in suggesting that Citizens United's real impact is to empower
little 
guys like me to influence elections. It is nothing short of staggering.
It 
is Doubletalk and Newspeak rolled into one. The list readers must
either be 
quite naive or not paying attention. And it's important to pay 
attention.
