Together, we can use our voices to take our democracy back.
"Yesterday marked the 9th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision.
It has proven to be one of the most disastrous decisions in the history of our country.
Corporate special interests have taken control of our democracy.
The decision has given political power to billionaires and corporations, allowing them to influence our elections at all levels of government.
It is time to put power back into the hands of everyday Americans. Contact your representatives today and demand they support a constitutional amendment to end Citizens United.
We both know that corporations are not people. Together, we can use our voices to take our democracy back.
Tell your representatives it is time for them to put people over Big Money and pass a constitutional amendment to end Citizens United.
Email your Members of Congress right now to demand a Constitutional Amendment to overturn Citizens United!"

Before we can do such things as Constitutional Amendments, we first need to get control of the Senate, and Executive. Also, with as many Republicans appointed to the Supreme Court, our hands are going to be tied there for many years to come. Telling a Republican member of congress our grievances will most certainly fall on deaf ears...they are part of the Oligarchy.
The only reason that that absurdity is now in law is that Mitch McConnell started that big lie over twenty years ago. Republican politicians gradually came to see that the false concept could help them to gain and hold power. Then Grover Norquist began bundling money from corporations and the super rich and passing it out to politicians who signed a written pledge not to raise taxes. They did gain power, and have now appointed member of the Supreme Court who have now given that absurdity the force of law. The whole process is immoral and undemocratic.
I recall someone making the statement, "I will accept a corporation as a person when Texas executes one of them"
YES!
