They’re Buying Our Government

Two weeks from tonight

On Thursday, July 25, The Democratic Party of Milton Township will present a discussion focused on the influx of enormous sums of money into politics.  We’ll learn about the strange path of Supreme Court decisions that allowed that to happen and the corrosive effect on democracy.  Finally, we’ll learn about efforts to bring better balance to campaign financing.

-       The history of the increasing political power of wealthy corporations and individuals

-       A summary of legislation passed to control the buying of votes and influence by big-money interests

-       Court rulings giving corporations the same status as individual citizens and the adverse impact that has on democracy

-       What we can do
