Senators Introduce Constitutional Amendment to Reverse Citizens United
Senator Tom Udall (D-NM) has introduced a constitutional amendment which would reverse the Supreme Court ruling on Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission, which upheld corporate personhood, thus making it unconstitutional for government to regulate the money spent to influence elections.

The amendment is co-sponsored by Senators Bennet (D-CO), Harkin (D-IA), Durban (D-IL), Schumer (D-NY) and Whitehouse (D-RI).

1. This is something we need to start getting their backs on in every way possible.
From the Occupy movement to those unable to make it to protests. Push to get the amendment out there and then passed in each state.

2. Bernie is being a jackass.
Beating up on the President, accusing him of "selling out working people," while conveniently ignoring that Obama has been way out ahead on condemning Citizens United in the fucking State of the Union.

3. There needs to be an amendment to make those SC Justices non living entities.
