The movement to amend the Constitution to overturn the Supreme Court's landmark decision, Citizens United v. FEC, which unleashed unlimited corporate and special interest money into the electoral process, is gaining momentum quickly.
Local and state governments across the country are calling for Congress to overturn Citizens United; the 112th Congress has seen the introduction of 13 constitutional amendment resolutions; and President Obama has recently signaled his support for constitutional remedies.
The People are calling upon politicians at all levels of government to rally for an amendment … and they're starting to listen.
But more politicians need convincing -- or replacing!
This spring, there is a push to pass 100 new local resolutions calling for a constitutional amendment, centered around Resolutions Week in June. Will you join us? We also know that many cities and towns have already passed resolutions. If this is the case, you can work to move forward a ballot initiative or work to get a resolution passed in your county or state.
Use the above link to sign up to take part in "Resolutions Week" and help organize and pass a resolution in your town, county or state.

Citizens United was a very good decision. The idea that it is good to pass a law, restricting speech, should be repugnant to every person who values the free exchange of ideas.
Back in the 1940's, it was the left that defended free speech for unpopular groups. Nowadays that has switched and it is the right that defends free speech.
My problwm with this law is: it
allowed corporations to take their owner's money and spend it without their permission.
Citizens United did not deal with shareholder rights. The corporation that won the case was a non-profit in any event.
I do not think the decision only applied to non-profits. I still say any type of non-political organization who uses shareholders money, dues, etc. and uses their money without their consent is wrong.
