I have been following Occupy Denver and Porta Potties have been set up in the down town area. Supporters are dropping off food and other supplies as well as mailing them in. If a provincial place like Denver can deal with these logistics, I'm sure New York can.

If they vote the Dems out of the Senate in the next election, that is how it works.

The example of NC is one example. No different than the attempted influence of outside money in Wisconsin from the Unions or other attempts by Union money to influence votes. They have a long history of influencing and buying votes in many cities and states. George Soros is the equivalent of this guy Pope and the Koch brothers, and Soros has been around a lot longer. Now that rich conservatives have entered the game in the same way it is suppose to be a new and exciting expose. It's not.

Agreed that outside money has always been used in an attempt to influence the political process. The thing that is different now is that the Supreme Court has ruled that corps can LEGALLY pour in far greater sums of money than previously due to their new status as "persons." The results of this ruling ARE new.

BTW, that's "threw" not "through." I am not normally a spelling Nazi, but I couldn't understand what you were saying until I re-read the sentence twice.
