Boulder, Colorado passed by a 3-to-1 margin an amendment that says corporations are not people and money is not speech and 6 Senators introduced a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. Have corporations overplayed their hand - is the backlash now underway?

1. Removing Money & Media from Politics, Made Easy

We need to remove the monetary requirement to run for public office, this is an easy thing to do; create c-span(state) a channel for each state that allows candidates with the proper requirements for office (signatures) to gain free, equal, in person only, air time; this would bust out the 2 party system, allow those with real ideas to gain office, remove the practice of feel good/bad campaigns, remove the plutocrats/corporatists from office, and create new parties; the two party system of govt. does not represent the diversity of our country.
