Democracy Dark Money Is Now King
Ben Piven, Al Jazeera America
Piven writes: "Ten years ago, it was 527 groups and Pioneer bundlers for George W. Bush. In 2008, Barack Obama took the nation’s top office by storm as soft money ruled.

Peter Moskowitz, Al Jazeera America
Peter Moskowitz, Al Jazeera America
Moskowitz writes: "For many Montanans, the pipes represent a slap in the face from the federal government, which for six years has labored over whether to allow Canadian pipeline giant TransCanada to build the Keystone XL. The pipeline would bring up to 850,000 barrels of oil from Alberta’s tar sands through Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska, to an existing pipeline system stretching from Kansas to oil refineries on the Gulf Coast."
