- But its three Republicans argued that because the work was part of an independent effort by the union, and didn’t involve contributions to the campaign itself, the law didn’t apply: A union or corporation’s “independent use of its paid workforce to campaign for a federal candidate post-Citizen's United was not contemplated by Congress and, consequently, is not prohibited by either the Act or Commission regulation.”
"Independent use of its paid workforce."
I wonder if anyone considers the type of world we are trying to create. We seem willing to be lead by the nose by a desire for ideological consistency into a swamp of irrational and inhumane madness.

Debt slavery is libertarianism practiced right.
