I like a fair amount of what Cruz says but some I really dislike. This is one. This is the sale of our Democracy pure and simple. It’s Government to the highest bidder.

And a corporation should never, ever have the rights of an individual. It is a corporation. It is a collection of people who have rights.

This is dead wrong.

That is a conversation that hasn't been played out. As it is now, corporations, groups, unions, and other associations have more 'speech' than the individual in the form of donations. That is wrong.

Secondly, in the days of multinationals, why would a foreign corporation have any say in the running of our Gov't. Just as any country can refuse to listen to ours.

Which part do you dislike about this legislation?

Freeing individuals, citizens, to contribute as they see fit?

Or just the bit about corporations?

Or both?

If you don't like the freeing the individual to contribute as they see fit, where do you think the limits should be placed?

Are you a limited government conservative?

I’m with you on this. Only American citizens should be spending on American politics.

See #21 for a proposed cure.
