Al Franken petition: PUT CITIZENS UNITED IN THE DUMPSTER OF BAD IDEAS
Not sure if this has been posted on DU yet. I received this in an email from Senator Franken:
PUT CITIZENS UNITED IN THE DUMPSTER OF BAD IDEAS
Hi,
Citizens United was a disaster. It opened the floodgates for corporations to write big checks to fund right-wing special interest attacks, helping them pour $719 million into the 2012 elections.
The question is, what are we going to do about it? How are we going to stuff this "corporations are people, elections are auctions, democracy is for sale" mess into the Dumpster of Bad Ideas?
Here's how: A constitutional amendment that puts power back in the hands of the people. The actual, human people.
Sign the petition to join me in calling for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.
- Al Franken
That's why I signed a petition to The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Barack Obama.
