U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater in 1958:
'...remind me of an old Arabian proverb: "If the camel once gets his nose in the tent, his body will soon follow."'

Well corporations got their nose under the personhood tent years ago, and now the whole body is there, along with the huge sums of money they are allowed to contribute to politicians.

What is the solution? Add an amendment to the Constitution that states only living human citizens of the United States can vote and/or contribute to the politicians.
