Bank of America ~~bribes~~ donates to Congress for 2012 Elections.

Bank of America, whose stock has been tanking for over a year and appears on the verge of bankruptcy, has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the 2012 Congressional elections. How stupid is that?!

Not only are the political donations absurd given the fact that Bank of America has taken $1.344 TRILLION ($1,344,000,000,000) from the Federal Reserve (see page 131 of the audit report) since 2007… These are public funds (yours and mine) used to “prop” up a failing bank that apparently is under-collateralized.

As our Founders recognized again and again, free speech and open debate are critical to a functioning democracy. See Benjamin Franklin, On Freedom of Speech and the Press, Penn. Gazette, Nov. 17, 1737 (“Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins. Republics and limited monarchies derive their strength and vigor from a popular examination into the action of the magistrates.”); see also Letter from James Madison to W.T. Barry (Aug. 4, 1822), in 9 Writings of James Madison 103 (G. Hunt ed. 1910) (“A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both.”).
