Congress Must Respond (Possibly With a Constitutional Amendment)

[berni_mccoy]

Congress must respond to the Supreme Court ruling that corporations may give unlimited resources to campaign either for or against a candidate in a Federal Election. While corporations are unlimited in what they can give, the Supreme Court did not address limits on individuals, currently capped at $2300 per cycle.

If necessary, Congress should draft a Constitutional Amendment to declare that Corporations can give NO RESOURCES to Federal Election Campaigns and in fact are not entitled to the same rights as Citizens. The Amendment should be called the Anti-Corruption Act, designed to prevent the corruption of Federally Elected officials from the financial wealth of corporations. Without this amendment, Federally Elected Officials will have their very offices threatened for simply taking action on behalf of the people against the special interests of even one wealthy corporation.
