Statement from Montana Democratic Party Chairman Jim Elliott

 "Yesterday's Supreme Court ruling on campaign funding gives all those corporations that were "too big to fail" the political power to drown out the voices of people like you and me in American elections.

Montanans were already concerned that multinational corporations were too heavily involved in the American political process; this ruling opens the floodgates and has potential to return us to the days when the Anaconda Company owned the Montana legislature and wrote the laws to benefit themselves, not Montana citizens. It is not good news for freedom-loving Americans."
