Josh Hawley; Attempting To Take-On CITIZENS UNITED????????
November 1, 2023
.​

"Hawley’s new bill, called the Ending Corporate Influence on Elections Act, is aimed at reversing the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision that loosened campaign finance laws – an effort that aligns the conservative Missouri Republican with many Democrats. Hawley’s bill would ban publicly traded corporations from making independent expenditures and political advertisements – and ban those publicly traded companies from giving money to super PACs."

shockingly we agree on something.

there is too much money in american politics, especially from large companies.

 

[pjmret]

and no one is surprised that republicans immediately jumped to say how they were unhappy with it. lol

He doesn’t like my bill,” Hawley said. “As an originalist, there is no original meaning giving corporations the right to make political contributions, and it’s warping our politics. It is giving them incredible power and I just think it’s a big mistake.”

republicans are convenience originalists...supporting the concept when it benefits them, opposing it when it doesn't. lol. hypocrites

There is far too much money being poured into American politics from enemy nations and enemies of civilization like George Soros.

lol.
you just can't find common ground, you immediately have to pivot to the usual right wing talking points..soros blah blah blah.

if the problem were contributions like someone from soros, then republicans would be all for getting rid of citizens united.

and if you say we have too many contributions from enemy nations, and republicans are against stopping it...lol

do you even think before you post?

"The case began after Citizens United, a conservative non-profit organization, sought to air and advertise a film critical of then Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton shortly before the 2008 Democratic primary elections. Broadcasting the film would have been a violation of the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, which prohibited any corporation, non-profit organization, or labor union from making an "electioneering communication" within 30 days of a primary or 60 days of an election, or making any expenditure advocating the election or defeat of a candidate at any time. Citizens United challenged the constitutionality of this law, and its case reached the Supreme Court."

Because Hillary defied Congress and the Constitution, we will never know how many hundreds of millions of dollars Hillary collected from anti-American thugs around the world in preparation for her run for president in 2016.

i'm almost surprised that you showed your face here again (so to speak) after arguing that the mcconnell and the republicans were fighting to keep money flowing from soros and enemy countries. I mean...that's a pretty dumb post.

Liberals, leftists, and Rhinos have packed the rule books with all kinds of laws protecting the dirty money donations to bad politicians and inhibiting donations from good people to good politicians.

Hawley does not seem cowed by the fascists who illegally seized political control in the stolen election insurrection.
