Gee Barry... why don't you move in with Hugo Chavez? He's more to your liking.
Any individual or any group or individuals that has an interest in legislation or who will be affected by legislation has a right to campaign for or against it. This is why a First Amendment was written, to protect the citizenry against a predatory federal government. Learn some friggin' history. You can't get more "special interest" than unions being given control (illegally) of auto companies, or ACORN/SEIU being lavishly funded to perform partisan Democrat/socialist wetwork, or senators like Landrieu and Nelson getting their votes purchased with public funds, or unions getting a special deal exempting them from the provisions of the health care tax. I can only hope that Obama's '"forceful response" will be as self-serving as all his other responses so the public will continue to see what a fraud he has been since day one.
The hypocrisy is staggering, given all the SOROS money used in numerous organizations to manipulate, the public and policy.
Not to forget General Electric pushing policy through the bias NBC family. Thank Goodness for the Supreme court ruling to counter this influence.
