Thanks to the Supreme Court's Citizen's United ruling in January, the money is really starting to pour in for the Republicans. The airwaves are being flooded by attack ads funded by secret organizations and individuals hell-bent on electing candidates and passing inititiatives that will set America so far back it will be impossible to recover. It's money that's not accountable, coming from who knows where. How do we deal with this?
I've been following the California Governor's race rather closely and I came across an interesting tactic by Negative Meg Whitman. Her high priced lawyers threatened to file a lawsuit against Comcast if they ran an ad by the California Teacher's Association. Comcast pulled the ad.
I believe that, rather than focusing on the secretive organizations laundering the money, we should focus our attention at the messengers, the people delivering the advertising, the broadcasters and media outlets taking the money and running the ads.
