Amend the Constitution to Nullify Citizens United
The Supreme Court decision in Citizens United allowing for unlimited contributions to Super PACs has the potential to destroy the fabric of our American democracy. I am proposing that Congress format an amendment to the constitution that: 1) immediately nullifies Citizens United by 2) limiting the amount of money any individual or corporation may contribute to a political campaign 3) while requiring full public disclosure of the funds contributed, and finally 4) setting limits on the total amount spent on a political campaign for national office and 5) banning political television and radio commercials altogether.
The effect of this amendment would be to limit the political campaign to issues and real debates between candidates bringing a sanity back to the political process in the United States.
