Cartoons: American democracy for sale

We're back to writing about the Koch Brothers and Republicans yet again.  

Picture U.S. and state governments with only Republicans writing and enforcing legislation.

It's possible, because the big political spenders--the Koch Brothers and Sheldon Adelson--spend Republican.  And the U.S. Supreme Court supports their spending, as shown in this article "Winners and losers from the McCutcheon v. FEC ruling."  If you're tired of seeing the Supreme Court replace democracy with rule by dollar (a plutocracy), you can show your resistance by signing Credo Action's petition to Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia, John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Anthony Kennedy.  Or you can join MoveToAmend and get into the action.
