Amend 2012

Thanks to the Supreme Court and Citizens United, the same big corporations and billionaires that destroyed our economy and caused millions of us to lose our jobs and homes, are spending obscene amounts to drown out our voices in elections and take over our government.

But together, "We the People" can set things right.

Stand with Robert Reich and join the movement for a constitutional amendment today.

This issue is the biggest threat to democracy and freedom in our country. It needs more attention that it is getting. Thank you Dr. Reich for leading the movement to overturn the very undemocratic, unconstitutional, un-American and unfair Citizen United decision!

Brilliant, not stupid.

Thank you for this... so very, very much.

America is dead.  The Supreme court killed it!!! It doesn't matter how many people get behind this and I'm sure this movement has the majority. The crooks who have overthrown our government won't let it go without violence.....

@Tolebon I think there is a big difference between a corporation that is working hard and making good chooses making a reasonable profit and the corporations buying the government so they can set up the system in there favor at the expense of everyone else. There is nothing wrong with corporations, but there is something wrong when they have more legal rights then a human being dose. There must be some reasonable middle ground to be found is there not?

@stormgazer418 You keep using that word "democracy." I do not think it means what you think it means.

If money is speech, Scalia, then can I give a judge $100 while I'm on trial?  After all, I'm just talking to him by giving him $100.

Uhm, the framers didn't mean "people" in the same way that Communists mean "people". The United States is a Representative Republic, not a Democracy. It never was, and any attempt to spin it that way is at best disingenuous and at worse an attempt to deceive.

Message - Good......Verbage - FAIL

Save our CONSTITUTIONAL REBUBLIC!

We were never meant to be a "Mob Rule" Democracy. No vote can overturn LAW, no matter how many vote for it. This is what we were founded on, but now due to ignorance (TV, sports, Jersey Shore and the CIA front Facebook) corporate greed and a failed education system ( search Charlotte Iserbyte "The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America" on YT), we have fallen and it is all by design!

I have some words of wisdom for you. Shut up and get the facts, not the lies corporations are funding but the ones that are true. And don't go to any website that supports Scott Walker or anyone else like him because everything on there is a big, fat, LIE! So...... Get your head out of the gutter and LOOK IT UP! Sheesh, I'm only 14 and I have to teach all of you "adults" how to get the facts. Shouldn't you have learned this in elementary school? Shows how much you know.

What's all this rant against corporations!?!? Of course they need to lobby government as much as unions and other entities do. Everything's connected together. I'm a shareholder and want my investments to make wealth for retirement. I cannot rely on Social Security or a guaranteed pension. If corporations don't make a reasonable profit each year, workers and shareholders lose. Everyone connected should be accountable for their actions.

@RellenMcDee

So what you are saying is that unions using their members money to lobby Congress and support candidates that will lavish their members with Huge returns is a good thing, but a corporation that does the same thing to lavish its shareholders with a Huge return is a bad thing. Thanks for proving my point.
