Submitted by Monica Rober on Mon, 03/29/2010 - 18:22

The Boston Globe editorializes on the need to soften the influence of money in politics following the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision."The Supreme Court decision letting corporations and unions spend unlimited amounts touting political candidates — or trashing those they oppose — could make officeholders more beholden to special interests. The least Congress can do is require full disclosure of such expenditures and insist that shareholders or union members approve them."Click here to read the full editorial.
