Next march I will make a poster that reads: "Citizens United AGAINST 'Citizens United'", but perhaps someone can go ahead and make one now -- that is, We, Occupy Wall Street, are oppposed to the ability of Corporations and any monied interest to purchase politicians. And the Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United is not only the perfect example of government corruption, but it has further opened the way to government corruption. We demand its repaeal.
Excellent post, I heartily agree. Repeal!
This is the biggest thing being overlooked. Citizens United vs the FEC IS the killing blow to our freedom, and needs to be fought and repealed as soon as possible.
Also, electronic voting booths need to FUCKING GO.
The country needs a general overhaul and - among MANY other things - the Supreme Court should be disbanded. They have been a disgrace and an integral part of the catastrophic situation that now prevails.
Not an overhaul, just a lot of repairs. If we can get the money out of politics, we can get real representation in Washington. Then we can fix the other issues.

That's a good stance, and slogan really. That ruling flung the door wide open, it needs to be shut and locked.
Thanks - yes I think it's a great slogan. I'm out of town now, but I would love for soemone to do this poster now, and when I get back in town next week and into the march, I will make one and carry it.
