Americans cherish our liberty and don't want government or corporations to take away our freedoms.
From Christine Pelosi
Women in America cannot achieve our full economic and personal fulfillment as long as the concentration of wealth and power in the top 1% continues to stifle democratic voices and progressive policies.
The beauty of our democracy lies in the American value of equality: if you vote, you have a seat at the table. If you speak, you have a chance to persuade others. A billionaire and a minimum wage earner have the same power at the ballot box.
With Citizens United, the Supreme Court's declaration that corporations are people, the whims of one can silence the voices of millions.
The free market allowed shock jocks to flourish, and millions of listeners apparently enjoyed the rant.
Conservatives and companies condoned Rush Limbaugh's politics of personal destruction when it came to smearing elected officials. 'Fair game,' they said, even when crass and crude. That's just the way it is.
