Prominent Republicans like Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) insist corporations should "stay out of politics," particularly "divisive" issues like voting rights.
“Corporations spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in support of voter suppression”... think about that...anyone who thinks this is a democracy is just plain uninformed. America has become a corporate run, money driven government that hasn’t been representing individual people and their rights for a very long time. When are we going to put a stop to this?
We need to get big money out of politics! Corporations are not people! If the amount of money that is spent in influencing politicians were to be applied to the welfare of Americans we would not be dealing with the problems we are today.
I'm interested in giving more support to the man who is the primary sue-er when the R's get out of control. Marc Elias? There must be other lawyers who can join that fight and who we can help support in the specific ways he or she needs from us. The Texas and Georgia Republican legislatures are acting at the advice and support of the dark money of the American Enterprise Institute (Koch Brothers). They have a coordinated effort. We need that. Ideas, Judd?
I know! But now that I know about the organization, I realize he's more of the spokesman and there are others doing the work, too. I worry when our heroes may burn-out!
Democracy is only a transitional state between oligarchy & then autocracy. A republic never lasts. The oldest one on Earth was established in the year 1600. Many have come and gone since. This one will be no different. Except perhaps more pathetic. A people who had it all: And threw it away for a plastic drink cup.

Mark Elias works with Democracy Docket. You can donate direct to them. https://www.democracydocket.com/
Did it and made a monthly donation. I can’t believe I hadn’t seen and done this before! Thank you, Josephine!
If you follow Marc on Twitter, he mentions it often. Sometimes it seems to me he's a one man band against a tidal wave of anti-democratic bills
