In reply to the discussion: Democrats introduce constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United [View all]KPN
(15,638 posts)15. Not buying fatalism. This is a start. This helps
make this a public issue and raise awareness of what the real swamp is. The House should pass similar legislation. And yes, we all know it wont happen soon. But the only way it ever will is if s massive majority of voters are fired up about and demand the abolition of Citizens United. This is a start to a long, long endeavor. Its also a sound political strategy ... raise visibility, expose the GOP for what it is (the Kochs and other billionaires water boy), fire up and engage voters.
