We need to gather as a United people and let the Supreme court know that just because it has the power to do something does not mean it is ethical to do so. Super PAC's are politically unethical and place money in the hands of those who can and will do harm to our American way of life. This is evident in the recent attacks on women's health rights issues and big money attacks on individuals in this latest 2012 Primary. Many of these attacks would not have happened if "millions of dollars" had not been used by these political affiliations. These Super PAC's are not required to coordinate their adds with the PAC coordinators. "Super" political action committees can raise unlimited amounts of money from corporations, labor unions and individuals. As of March 1, 2012 Super Pac's have donated over 78 million to the current campaigns. The last index reveals that the average income per capita has dropped to $26,364 per year. Just the Super PAC donations equal the wages of over 2800 Americans. This is just freaking wrong.
A recent Supreme Court case, also known as Citizens United, gave rise to Super PACs, which are rapidly reshaping American politics. This landmark case held that the First Amendment can prohibit the US Government from restricting political expenditures by corporations and unions.
Super PACs can spend that money to support and oppose candidates in U.S. presidential and congressional races — just as long as they don't directly coordinate with the campaigns.
It is now official. Unlimited funds can be generated by almost any source. This eliminates the premise that candidates are running on their own merits and beliefs.
