Article: Illegal During Watergate, Unlimited Campaign Contributions Now Fair Game

Click here to read more from NPR.

The 2012 presidential campaign is already being shaped by new rules for political money. The Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling allows corporations to jump into the presidential contest, as lower-court rulings and the Federal Election Commission provide new avenues through which corporate money can flow.

The likely result: Corporate involvement in presidential politics on a scale not seen since the Watergate scandal of the 1970s. The critical difference: This time, it's legal.
 Just another reason to be pissed off at the corporations. The alliance between Corporate and Political is too disgusting for words. I really can't think of anything clever to say about this because it just pisses me off so much.

This is truly yet another reason why the change has to start with US and the government needs to be reformed.
