A must watch!!! Amazing video about Citizens United: http://www.storyofstuff.org/movies-all/story-of-citizens-united-v-fec/

The Supreme Court ruled that money equals speech. So, people who have money can speak, and people who don’t, can’t?? This is a plutocracy, not a democracy!

The American Revolution was explicitly anti-corporate, and the revolutionaries
made sure that corporations were tightly controlled.

The word corporation does not occur in the Constitution. Corporations had to use unelected, unaccountable judges to give them rights. It is time for us to take those rights back!!
