Get Serious About A Constitutional Amendment To Reverse Citizens United And McCutcheon
In the aftermath of the McCutcheon decision, striking down yet more long respected and important campaign finance regulation, suddenly members of Congress are talking about campaign finance reform. This could not be a more silly waste of time or energy.
For those with ears to hear, the Supreme Court has spoken. Five members of the Supreme Court have declared that money IS speech. And the more "comprehensive" you make any attempt to now legislate campaign finance reform, the more comprehensively, conclusively and summarily they will strike it down. And they will use the occasion as an opportunity and excuse to do even more damage to our system of Democracy.
In short, any proposed legislative solution which is not a constitutional amendment is a dead in the water non-starter.
We, the people, call on Congress to immediately bring forward resolutions, or cosponsor ones already on the table, to amend the constitution to declare that
1) Corporations have NO constitutional rights, only the rights the people may grant them by law (S.J.Res.18 and H.J.Res.21);
2) Money is not equivalent to speech, and the people may regulate campaign spending according to their will; and,
3) Included in the people's power to regulate campaign spending is the right to publicly finance elections.
Any member of Congress who will not get behind these critical constitutional clarifications must be replaced with candidates who will.
