Sec Clinton endorses a Constitutional Amendment against Citizens United

[misterhighwasted]

At the start of her Campaign today she talks about the deck being stacked against Americans with money & elections.
Saying she endorses a Constitutional Amendment to roll back Citizens United

This Campaign is absolutely about the future Supreme Court and its siding with the purchasing of elections.
She will call out the RW on this.

1. I saw. It definitely looks like she is coming out in favore of the amendmet.

[shenmue]

2. Yay!

[misterhighwasted]

3. Can Sec Clinton raise 2 billion for her Pres campaign? Absolutely.But...

..but should a contender have to be able to raise that amount to compete? NO.
Not after this election. Not ever again.
Say it Hillary!
2016

4. NOW we're talkin'...

Yeah..that and SCOTUS...SCOTUS...SCOTUS...it's the bottom line for me.

I like how the name 'Citizens United' has that warm, fuzzy sound to it...like it's a GOOD thing. It is anything BUT.

Citizens United is criminal, evil and pure bullshit.

RePugs..take your 'Citizens United' and shove it up your affluent, entitled, corporate ass.

7. Totally! Let's END this abomination.

I don't care how rich you are. That does NOT entitle you to buy yourself a government.

I am listening to her. Sounds like she's been very clearly hearing what we're talking about out here in voter land. This is what I'm hoping, especially for those who are really on the fence about her, or not trusting her. I've been hoping she'd be taking note of the Elizabeth Warren wing of the Democratic Party. Wondering if this is evidence that she has. That would be a VERY good thing. Her talking about the lopsidedness of CEO pay versus the menial excuse for a living wage that the average working stiff earns - I'm liking that. Liking that A LOT.

The whole idea of a listening tour - I'm REALLY happy to see that! Seriously! Because she's going to hear, up close 'n' personal, MORE of THIS. MORE of the People's Problems. MORE of the concerns about just getting by versus getting yours, mine, ours, and everybody else's. She's gonna hear from the PEOPLE rather than the lobbyists and big money guys. And she needs to.

I was very happy to hear about her listening tour also because it really worked well in New York State. Gave her a chance to get to know the average Joe and Jane. Gave her a chance to go to every corner of the state she presumed to be able to represent in the Senate, and introduce herself to them and them to her. Especially with the whole "carpet-bagger" thing she faced. And she beat it. She won them over. If she can do that, in that arena, I'm certain she can do that throughout the country and win THEM over, too. Or enough of them anyway.

I really don't think we could do better for a candidate. I'm glad she's doing this. Humanizes her, lets her do the "personal touch" thing, people meet her and realize she's not what the blabbermouths on Pox Noise say she is. And she gets to hear them and hear their concerns. If she's smart, and she IS, she's going to take that to heart.

VERY pleased to hear this.

5. This would be a very good thing, now we need to provide a supporting team.

We need supporting teams on the state level also. Citizens United has to be the worse law the Supreme Court ever enacted, just short of electing George W Bush.

Hillary has more plans for her agenda, we will be hearing those plans, a very good reason to have a primary.

[starroute]

6. Perhaps she takes it personally

Since the case started with "Hillary: The Movie."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary:_The_Movie

Hillary: The Movie is a 2008 political documentary about United States Senator and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. It was produced by Citizens United. The film was scheduled to be offered as video-on-demand on cable TV right before the Democratic primaries in January 2008, but the federal government blocked it. The blocking of the film's airing was the subject of the court case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.

13. I had forgotten about that. Hillary Clinton has been fighting those people for so long

And after her statement today, Citizens United damn well got the message that she is coming after them & will take away their fascist plan for America.
She is a force to be reckoned with & has the power behind her to dismantle all the shitty policies they have laid on the American people.

Hillary is a threat alright. She needs an entire Nation of supporters to stand behind her.

Hillary Clinton is the only person that can possibly end up with the power to shut down their game.
The RW knows it too.
I hope she has a great loyal team surrounding her.
Citizens United is run by a most corrupt group & with what they are threatened with losing, by her statement today, they are not giving it up. Period.
But I am certain her Team already knows what they are up against. They will protect her.
No doubt Citizens United is furiously working on ramping up their campaign to see that Hillary loses the election.

Nothing is too evil & too corrupt for that bunch.

[Duppers]

[mountain grammy]

16. I'm all for it. In fact, we need a few amendments,

like limiting the terms of SCOTUS, extending equal rights, equal pay and equal protection to LGBT people and to women, as well as limits on campaigns and gun control.

Our outdated constitution is killing us.

[redruddyred]

17. hillary is responding the the growing number of state gov'ts calling for an amendment

90% of americans are with us on this, it's a smart political move.

[Agnosticsherbet]

20. This will be dificult, but it is the real solution to the problem with too much money in politics

and with treating corporations as if they had a brain.
