How can Congress legislatively undo Citizens United? |
|
What kind of legislation can be passed that will concievably undo or blunt the citizens United decision?
Can Dems simply pass a law specifically establishing that corporations are not "human" and thus are not afforded the same rights?
How about passing an equal time provision that compels media outlets to alot an equal amount of time to both sides of an issue?
I think that a simple, clear cut proposal that the public can get behind has the potential to turn November into a winner for us, but only if Democrats can roll it out in the spring and make the issue of the summer.
It shouldn't be hard, Americans have a natural, built in distrust of large corporations, give em a chance to put them in their place and they will take it.
Thoughts?
Suggestion?
Problems?
