Here's the topic for January, 2013: Resolved: On balance, the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission harms the election process.
And this was the topic for Nationals in 2010: Resolved: Current trends in
American political dialogue compromise meaningful democratic
deliberation.
One way to paraphrase the Nats 2010 topic: Partisan propaganda does harm to the democratic process.
A lot of PF topics get recycled and this, in my opinion, is one that has been recycled with the specification that we are not looking at current trends in general but specifically at CU v FEC, and the impact it has had on our electoral process (which happens to function within a democracy).
I'm not stating that these topics are similar enough to find cases from June 2010 and run with them, BUT if you do some internet digging you can probably find some back-files from that topic that can help with the current topic. Oh wait...I did that for you.
