Midterm Congressional Elections
As a native Northern Californian born and raised in the “silver lining” above Mendocino County, I strongly agree with Cockburn’s column. His cryptic outlook on the parties and their funding is realistic.
These corporations are piling money into these candidates for their own welfare, not that of the community. It is time to realize the dangers we are facing by allowing these multimillion-dollar firms to influence and run our elections and our government.
It is indeed time that we as individuals who appreciate our freedom become educated about the perils of corporate funding before we find our democracy taken away by socialists in three-piece suits.
