Editor, The Herald:

Some of you may be pleased with the US Supreme Court’s most recent decision to permit individuals and corporations to donate to their favorite political candidates without any limit whatsoever. This may very well be the worst decision that the court has rendered, second only to the Citizens United decision. Maybe you’re thinking that this will give your party a definite advantage in the upcoming 2014 elections, and you may very well be right. However, you will definitely come to regret it. Unless you’re among the 10 percent of the wealthiest in our nation, this decision will not bode well for the other 90 percent of Americans, regardless of their political persuasion. The results will be catastrophic for the masses. The big corporations and the wealthiest individuals will rule with an iron hand, doing away with the most of your benefits and work rules. Regulations that were passed to protect the citizens of America will cease. Interest rates on all types of loans, including your mortgage, will skyrocket and an oligarchy will be firmly entrenched. This country will become no more than a Feudal State. And how do the wealthiest Americans intend to protect their power and wealth? Simple. They will be in control of the state and local law enforcement agencies, as well as the military and more importantly, have control of both the State and Federal legislative bodies and courts.

You might be saying to yourself that this is pretty far fetched or that this just couldn’t happen in America. Well, I beg to differ with you. If we know anything, we have learned that history repeats itself. This Nation is in danger of reverting to the middle ages.

Start using the brains that God has blessed you with. Stop watching the cable TV Networks and begin to think for yourself. Don’t let hatred and prejudice affect your judgement.
