In 2004, the Sierra Club distributed a brochure that advocated electing Kerry over Bush.
Before it was legalized by the decision in the Citizens United case, that activity was a crime. The Federal Election Commission fined the Sierra Club $28,000.
This is the very scary, Democracy-killing heart of Citizens United: people don’t lose their First Amendment rights just because they’re organized as a corporation.
Doesn’t seem that scary to me.
(Plus, you anti-Citizens United folks, don’t you realize you’re basically advocating that the government censor a movie?)
