Dear New Congress, Fix What is Broken in America
Dear new Congress, support and pass HJR 48, The We The People Amendment, as the best way to overturn Citizens United, and fix what is broken in the USA. Our system is rigged by and for special interests and this must stop now to save democracy and our planet.
Why is this important?
We the People lost our Constitution and our Power when activist SCOTUS decisions created corporate personhood and money as speech. We demand the return of our US Constitution and our power. Below is the full text of HJR 48, as our 28th Amendment to the US Constitution. We the People demand nothing less.
H. J. RES. 48
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States providing that the rights extended by the Constitution are the rights of natural persons only.

“ Section 1. The rights protected by the Constitution of the United States are the rights of natural persons only. Artificial entities, such as corporations, limited liability companies, and other entities, established by the laws of any State, the United States, or any foreign state shall have no rights under this Constitution and are subject to regulation by the People, through Federal, State, or local law. The privileges of artificial entities shall be determined by the People, through Federal, State, or local law, and shall not be construed to be inherent or inalienable.
“ Section 2.
