The decision could 'open the door to the corrupting influence that would flow from such expenditures,' said a joint release issued Tuesday by the Campaign Legal Center, Common Cause, Democracy 21 and Public Campaign. "'There is great fear that the court will strike a serious blow against American democracy,' said Ben Manski, executive director of the Liberty Tree Foundation of Madison, Wis., which helped create the Move to Amend site. 'There are reasons to be very concerned.'"Click here to read the full article.
