Today I'll join other citizens concerned about the usurping of our rights and the democratic process by corporations in the delivery of boycott intent letter to Target stores.

     The Citizens United decision to allow unlimited corportate spending in elections jeopardizes our democracy. Individuals from both sides of the aisle are uniting behind a movement to stop the purchase of elections and overturn, via ammendment, the flawed decision. Corporations are not persons. They do not have the same rights or the same interests as I. When corporations - concerned only with profit and not the welfare of the people or the state - are allowed to 'buy' government, we've lost democracy and entered into fascism, which by definition aims to structure a state and the government of the state according to a corporate worldview. A democratic government is not a for profit business; it does not dismiss individualism or allow individual voices to be silenced and individual rights usurped.
     For those who are fond of saying they love America and think themselves patriotic, I say now is the time to walk the talk. This is the issue to get behind before the democracy you love is gone.
