Webisode 4 - Citizens, Unite
In a webisode promoting his film Casino Jack and the United States of Money, a documentary about disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, director Alex Gibney takes on the Supreme Court's recent decision undoing laws that restricted corporate spending on campaign advertisements -- allowing "super-sized" corporate citizens undue influence on elections.
"Thanks to the Supreme Court," says the narrator, "these super-sized citizens have the same rights to political speech as your average Joe."

I Wanna Love YouI REALLY want to root for this film. There are probably a lot of very important topics discused (sorry, I can't spell today) in it. Unfortunately, based on the trailer, I'm not sure if it will be able to keep my attention. Oh look, shinny thing.
