THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
"I again recommend a law
prohibiting all corporations from contributing to the campaign expenses
of any party.... Let individuals contribute as they desire; but let us
prohibit in effective fashion all corporations from making contributions
for any political purpose, directly or indirectly."Teddy Roosevelt
added,"The fortunes amassed through corporate organization are now so
large, and vest such power in those that wield them, as to make it a
matter of necessity to give to the sovereign -- that is, to the
Government, which represents the people as a whole -- some effective
power of supervision over their corporate use. In order to insure a
healthy social and industrial life, every big corporation should be held
responsible by, and be accountable to, some sovereign strong enough to
control its conduct." -- Theodore Roosevelt
