They didn't grant corporations the right to vote.
Excluding opinions of voters, town hall meetings and emails? what in the world are you talking about?
Still one vote per person.

You're right, they didn't grant corporations the right to vote. But they just allowed them to overpower, to the -nith degree, your and my vote.

I'm in favor of Tea Parties, Independents - anything that keeps the flux in a rather strict two-party system.

My fear is that this has just rendered all of us useless, a small voice, crushed under now-unregulated corporate influence.
