Ted Deutsch introduces amendment to over turn Citizens United
You can read the resolution in .pdf here.
Democratic Florida Congressional Rep. Ted Deutch has proposed an amendment to the Constitution of the United States outlawing corporate money in politics and ending so-called “corporate personhood”, according to Talking Points Memo.Simply put, it says that the rights of the Constitution are for natural people and corporations are merely a construct for the benefit of people and do not share those rights. Good luck to Ted as he tries to get it passed by the paid for stooges in Congress.
If passed, the amendment would overturn the Supreme Court’s “Citizens United” decision, restoring caps on corporate election spending and rescinding the right of for-profit business interests to receive the same protections as citizens under the First Amendment.
