Sign the petition to legalize Democracy!

Media_httpmovetoamend_nwpbd

On January 21, 2010, with its ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are persons, entitled by the U.S. Constitution to buy elections and run our government. Human beings are people; corporations are legal fictions.

We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United, and move to amend our Constitution to:

* Firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.

* Guarantee the right to vote and to participate, and to have our vote and participation count.

* Protect local communities, their economies, and democracies against illegitimate "preemption" actions by global, national, and state governments.

The Supreme Court is misguided in principle, and wrong on the law. In a democracy, the people rule. We Move to Amend.

Keith Knutson: Rich corporations will have greatest voice in campaigns

Corporations have the wealth to flood our TV sets with uninformative, too-often deceitful, counter-productive ads. Research shows us that this also can depress voter turnout. How anti-democratic are we willing to let our campaigns become?
