The Supreme Court decided to ease the restrictions on corporate, union, and non-profit campaign spending. I feel that this is doing nothing but going against what America is meant to be: a place where everyone has a right to have their voice be heard. Instead, the wealthy and elite are gaining more influence in ways like these. Special interest groups and lobbyists are getting more power in Washington because they can give larger contributions to congressmen. Since money speaks, the wealthy will be more likely to get their way. Meanwhile, the influence of average Americans will decrease because they will be unable to afford to give more funds to favored candidates. This ruling goes against the Federal Election Commission.
