While I fully understand the consternation and disgust with the Court's ruling, I'm a bit more ambivalent about it. For better or worse, it has long since been decided that "money = speech" in contemporary politics. No matter what is done in the area of campaign finance law, ways to circumvent these laws are discovered before the ink dries on the legislation. Rather than this being the death blow to our country, it seems to me to be a codification of business as usual (i.e., removing well-meaning but ineffective campaign finance restrictions). The Golden Rule still applies.
