Answer 1

Answer:

Following the excerpt from the citizens United case, I think corporations and organisations should be more restricted in their campaign donations.

Explanation:

At this moment, money plays a huge role in politics: companies use donations to help raise attention to problems the want to be taking care of, while at the same time avoiding others that could potentially be affect there own business.

This is a huge problem because there are many issues that politics should talk about, but they are not doing it because companies that pays money prefer that those subject are not talking about, like climate change and social injustice, for example.  

Money in politics, especially when it comes for companies that have their own agenda, is dangerous because it put companies interested above public interest.

Answer 2

Answer:

I think companies and groups should be more restricted in their campaign funding practices. Powerful and wealthy organizations can have too much influence over voters and the voting process. OR I think corporations and organizations should be less restricted in how they spend their money for political purposes. As the Supreme Court ruled in the Citizens United case, groups have the right to use their money to express their opinion. I believe this is protected by the First Amendment.
