Repeal Citizens United Supreme Court Decision
That the Supreme Court's decision in the Citizens United case that gave corporations and other interest group entities the status of persons in regard to free speech and unlimited political donations or contributions should be repealed.
Why is this important?
Our representative democracy is under attack from the corporations and super pac interest groups who are able to buy elections. The corporations have now achieved all of the rights of personhood, with none of the responsibilities. Groups with no transparancy of membership, transparancy of money sources or accountability to anyone, can use their economic power to subvert free and fair elections. Multi-national corporations and secret super pacs whose loyalty is not to America or the American people, or the interest of the United States, but to their bottom line and to the self interest of their (unknown) constituencies should not have the opportunity to unduly influence elections and decisions that affect all of the citizens of the US. The Supreme Court erred gravely in rendering this decision and the decision should be over-turned.
