Money is not speech. The Supreme Court has said as much in several cases. For example, Intl. Soc. for Krishna Consciousness v. Lee (91-155), 505 U.S. 672 (1992): The conservative justices (including many in the majority on Citizens United v. FEC) held that in this case money wasn't speech. This shows clear bias.
Corporations are not people. The theory of corporate personhood is very old, and comes of the problem that (a) the investors can't be sued for the wrongdoings of the corporation, and (b) in common law only a person can sue or be sued. There is no way therefore to deal with the wrongdoings of a corporation otherwise. Corporate personhood should therefore be contracted to liability for debts.
Pass a law to make this clear and reopen the door to campaign finance reform.
