When corporations mobilize against voter restriction laws (#4449)

      Left dangling there in the title is what happens next. We will see how their opposition to state laws aimed at denying access to the voting franchise will affect republican lawmakers who depend on their donations for campaigning. Money does influence republican politicians since their party is based upon wealth and greed. If they begin to lose their donors over denying voting rights then expect to see republicans squirm as to how to proceed. The republican party needs to suppress the vote if they have any chance at all of winning elections. So how they balance a united corporation front against them with their strategy of winning by denying voting rights is their current dilemma.
     I am flabbergasted at the idea that the republican party would even be an option for voters when their sole strategy of denying voters the right to vote is so commonly known. What the hell kind of nation have we become when a political party has a chance at national power through anti democratic tactics? It is an embarrassment for me to be in our nation at a time when such racism is publicly pervasive. Shame is not a method or tool to use against the republican party as they have adopted a psychopathic approach to ignoring emotion and conscience. So denying them funds for their political campaigns seems to be the best option.
     Corporations are not people but what they produce is capital. That capital attainment is contingent upon them being able to operate in a free and open society. What republicans are now offering is a society that is not only restrictive but closed off to many without a voice. Such is not the type of pathway any corporation should want to travel down. Which is why they need to raise their collective voices against anti democratic laws and ordinances. Sitting quietly on the sidelines while funneling money to democracy busting candidates is no longer an option for them. Their neutrality is over so they had better come to grips with choosing to side with or without democracy!
