"Corporate
Bribery: Our Democracy is for Sale"
How do major corporations and the
wealthy and well-connected influence
politicians and policy? What can be done
to ensure that our candidates and
government aren't "sold to the highest
bidder?"
It's a bribe when any entity seeks to
influence policy or legislators with
a big-money donation. Find out how
the Citizens United decision introduced
more opportunities for big funders to
deepen their ties to candidates. Read
"Corporate Political Bribery" here--this
version
can
also
be printed out as a 3 page handout.
Download and print a legal-size brochure here.
Or order print copies from the Alliance
office, afd
/at/

"Political
Bribery is Illegal"
From the US Criminal Code: "Whoever
directly or indirectly, corruptly gives,
offers, or promises anything of value to
any public official… with intent to
influence any official acts…" is engaging
in bribery. But this is how our elections
are funded and how the well-connected
maintain their influence over policy and
government. This is not democracy! Learn
what we can do to eliminate political
bribery and what can happen when we do.
