"I don't believe that corporations are people, either. But issue-oriented organizations, of whatever stripe or wing, supported by millions of small contributors, give those contributors a bigger voice in the political process than they would otherwise have. It allows them to compete on a level playing field with much larger entities. These entities, like corporations, labor unions and national news and entertainment media interests, already exist and operate on the money of those smaller contributors, through profits or compulsory dues or advertising dollars from profits.
The left wing shot itself in the foot. Just because it didn't like the politics of some of the small contributor organizations, it lumped politics by free speech and contribution in with politics by leverage of unaccountable profits, This justifiably outraged those smaller contributors who wanted a voice as well. Contributors who wrote to their Congressional representatives about it.
Anyone who wants campaign reform should try it while supporting free political expression by ordinary people who would band and raise their voices together under the First Amendment. No matter what their cause."
