A Petition to Support the Saving American Democracy Amendment

Sen. Bernie Sanders has proposed a constitutional amendment that would overturn the Supreme Court decision in a case called Citizens United vs. FEC.

The Saving American Democracy Amendment states that:

Corporations are not persons with constitutional rights equal to real people.
Corporations are subject to regulation by the people.
Corporations may not make campaign contributions or any election expenditures.
Congress and states have the power to regulate campaign finances.

1. I agree with him; that said, this country couldn't even pass a frigging Equal Rights Amendment, so

I don't know how much success he'll have.

I wish him luck.

2. By the time Republicans lie and distort the meaning of this bill, the average..

...American will think it has something to do with turning people into chickens and
lowering their fuel mileage to 10 mpg.
