Tell that to Big Labor

This email from Democrats.com is humorously demagogic given that Unions FORCE people to belong, FORCE people to pay dues and then spend dues money to doggedly campaign against Republicans (only) each election. Sell your stock in ExxonMobil duhduhduh if you don't like how the corporation spends money.
In January, a narrow Republican 5-4 majority of the Supreme Court ruled Corporations have the right to spend unlimited amounts of money to elect or defeat candidates.
That includes the nation's largest Corporations like ExxonMobil, which made $45 billion in profits in 2008 and could easily spend $5 billion to defeat every Democrat in the U.S.

By the way, two of the four justices that were in the minority on this opinion were appointed by Republicans.
