Putting a price on our inalienable rights...
According to a recent report by the nonpartisan Political Money Line, Campaign Finance Lobby: 1994-2004, Pew spent an average of $4 million a year over 10 years promoting reform. Seven other foundations -- including the Carnegie Corp. ($14 million), the Joyce Foundation ($13.5 million), George Soros' Open Society Institute ($12.6 million) -- cumulatively ponied up another $83 million over 10 years for the same purpose.Congress has set a price on your First Amendment rights, and that price was shamefully low: $123 million dollars. They can't even learn from Dr. Evil, whose minions advised him repeatedly to ask for billions, not millions. |
