Damn. The Supremes have once again demonstrated their moral & intellectual uncertainty. They ruled that CORPORATIONS are PEOPLE - and as such can donate any amount of money to political candidates anonymously. Yes - they are made up of people - individuals who have the right to make donations individually. What the court has enabled is the transfer of million of dollars to candidates & parties without any accountability. This has given rise to the so-called 'Super Pacs' that can sponsor either party. What the bloody hell was the court thinking?! Where does that leave 'Joe the plumber' (sorry - I couldn't resist) with his $10 donation? Without a helluva lot of influence is an understatement.

About Me
- Name: Sallie Bailey
- Location: Fayetteville, New York, United States
WRITING CREDS: I authored many art review guest columns for the Syracuse Newspapers during the 70’s, was art reviewer for several years for a prize winning weekly newspaper serving the eastern suburbs of Syracuse and have had articles in the Adirondack Echo, the magazine New York Alive and Lake Effect, a literary journal published in Oswego, NY. My poems have been published in several small magazines, including the Comstock Review and Alura. I also authored the segment on the art history of the Central New York Region in the Encyclopedia of New York State, published by Syracuse University Press in 2005 and did the jacket illustration for a novel, Swimming Toward The Light, by Angela Tehaan Leone published in January 2007 by Syracuse University Press. Most recently, my essay The Accidental Therapists appears in October 2009 issue of The Healing Muse, published by SUNY Upstate Medical University's Center for Bioethics & Humanities. I also recently self-published a small book - Child of The Depression - about growing up in Syracuse, New York during the 30's & 40's. It's available on Amazon.
