This is brutal. Personally, I think that corporations should not be allowed to contribute at all to political campaigns. I think contributions should be limited to a representative's direct constitiuents alone. So if you're running from the 5th district, you should only be allowed to take limited donations from people residing and voting in the 5th district. No one from the 6th district or anywhere else should be allowed to donate to your campaign. And certainly, no corporation should be allowed to donate. Corporations already have more than enough power over the political process.
Lincoln, in his Gettysburg Address, asked that as a nation we dedicate ourselves, so "that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
This decision is certainly going in the wrong direction.
