AROUND AND AROUND

by Peggy Landsman

Supreme Court Revisits Campaign Finance Reform

Corporations need to be one
individual when it comes
time for campaign contributions.
It's one of their best solutions.
We should not control their incomes

by prohibiting them these plums.
What they can do with their huge sums!
What generous contributions!
Corporations need to be one

voice raised in support of freedom
to rewrite the Constitution,
the right to own politicians,
influence legal decisions
so democracy can be fun.
Corporations need to be one.
