"The Story of Citizens United v. FEC: Why Democracy Only Works When People Are in Charge" explores the history of the American corporation and corporate political spending, the appropriate roles of citizens and for-profit corporations in a democracy and the toxic impact the Citizens United decision is already having on our political process. It ends with a call to amend the U.S. constitution to confirm that people—not corporations—make the decisions in a democracy.

So they want a constitutional amendment to end free speech. Sorry, I'm not going to support that. You may not like what some corporations want but that's no justification for making it illegal for them to speak. The most important use of free speech of course is to say unpopular things. It's always "OK" to say what the government wants said.

last time I checked America is a constitutional republic, not a "dumbocracy" or democracy that is 51% ruling over 49% of the population. Is that freedom?

Excellent video!
Politicalgates has an exceptional 3 part series:
"How Corporate Personhood Came Into Being 3/3"
How did corporations come to be thought of as equal to human beings, in terms of civil rights? Where did this strange notion that “corporations are people too (my friends)” originate?
How did a court reporter's notation become legal precedent??
