The funny thing about the English language words have different meaning and value. You are the beneficiary of the voting process.

Even after I show you that "Contrabution" is not "Money" your mind is a wash. The lefty brainwashing of the big bad corporations and they're evil money.
Really so where did you demonstrate that a 'contribution' is not money? Graneted it can take many forms and money is one of those forms.

I had not realized that you were so very wealthy that you need rise to the defense of all those big corporations. Since I know first hand that one of those oh so munificent corporations came within two months of killing my wife I am not so disingenious as to believe they are interested in anything else but profit.

Really then perhaps you can show us, absent the power of government, how a single individual can guarante freedom of speech or freedom to vote?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Of course "Contribution" is not mobey.

Still you did not show me in the amendment where they are talking about "Corperations" big small or otherwise.

You are just blerting out talking points.

I admit that you are indeed confused go back to the OP and read what it said. Citizens United?

And perhaps you might tell all the people sending me e-mails galore begging for 'contributions' that it is not money.

I am not certain what mobey is and I would not know how to blert if my life depended on it.

I realize that I may be asking for it, but, what constitutes an "assault" on the constitution?
An inquiring mind wants to know.
