  • When I look at the US, sometimes I see no hope for the working class people of your country. But when I see your passion to do justice, my hope reignites, and my passion inflames. Keep up the good work Senator. Greetings from Norway.

  • Thank you Senator Sanders.

    There are no corporations buried in Arlington Cemetery.

  • I saw no corporations serving in our wars.....but I did see some corporations benefit from the wars.

  • @TinaDesireeBerg Corporations are people. Not persons, but people. What else are corporations? Is a corporation a building? A piece of paper? An idea?

    No. A corporation is a group of people, and what Sen. Sanders is talking about here is censorship. Sorry. I respect him, but I won't mince words.

  • @Madfoot713 We ALL like the First Amendment. Stating that Money+ free speech flies in the face of this. Corporations are not people. Bravo Senator Sanders. Finally a politician willing to stand up for what is correct- who has moral character.

  • @Akadesigns I wish I was in Norway right now & learning Norsk, but the fucking universities around here have no courses for the language whatsoever.

  • Senator Sanders is the last line of defense in the battle for democracy, sign the petition and openly support this amendment. Threaten your current representatives with replacement if they do not take action. This amendment MUST PASS!

  • Does this affect an individual's freedom of speech? Arguably. However, an individual only has freedom of speech when it is not harming others, for example inciting a riot is illegal. Similarly having individuals that control the wealth of the country essentially choosing our president because they have the means to more widely disperse their own speech is harmful to the whole.

  • What's wrong with this tactic: It does not affect an individual's ability to donate enormous amounts of capital to a political campaign, simply a corporation's. It should instead be put into law that there is a fairly small cap to the amount any individual, corporation or otherwise, can contribute to a campaign with no way around it. Make all political commercials, be they televised or on radio, banned if they are not paid for by the campaign funds of a candidate.

  • Amending the constitution would now not violate it because of the lex posterior principle.

  • Sorry Bernie, I like the first amendment.
