To: We the People
Dethroning Corporations
I support a Constitutional amendment to limit corporate power and influence over Federal and State legislative and electoral processes. The proposed amendment must include language to overturn Citizens United v. The Federal Election Commission, and must otherwise strictly limit corporate influence over government.
Why is this important?
Overturn Citizens United v. The Federal Election Commission.
America was founded in response to the tyranny of a despotic oppressor. Our 18th century revolution set the stage for a new, democratic way of life. But it took less than two hundred years before we lost our way and once again took up the yoke of oppression. Through a long history of self-serving legislation and judicial decisions, monied interests managed to cede overwhelming power to corporations, ultimately threatening our very republic. It is time for a second American Revolution; one in which we cast down this insidious corporate tyrant and restore government control to those whom it should and must represent: we the people. Undue corporate influence over our legislative process must and should be strictly limited, first by overturning this disastrous decision by the SCOTUS.
