The Citizens United Supreme Court decision turns 2 today. In some convoluted way, our judicial branch has determined that since corporations are made up of people they are entitled to the same rights of an individual including the right to free speech.
The decision has permitted corporations to donate unlimited funds to political candidates essentially buying them. This has created a culture where our "representatives" ignore us and listen more to the desires of multinational conglomerates who care little for the needs of our country.
Bernie Sanders has proposed a constitutional amendment to overturn this Supreme Court decision. Become one of the 188,500+ co-signers of a petition in support of Senator Sanders' efforts.
