To hand power 'back to the people,' House Dems propose amendment to reverse Citizens United
As billionaire Elon Musk reshapes the government after pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump's campaign, Rep. Jayapal fights back with the We the People Amendment to reverse Citizens United. #EndCitizensUnited
Summary
House Democrats, led by Rep. Pramila Jayapal, introduced the We the People Amendment to overturn Citizens United, aiming to curb corporate influence in elections.
The constitutional amendment asserts that constitutional rights apply only to individuals, not corporations, and mandates full disclosure of political contributions.
Jayapal cited Elon Musk’s massive campaign spending and subsequent financial gains as proof of the ruling’s harm.
Advocacy groups praised the move, calling it necessary to combat corporate power and dark money in politics, but Republicans have not backed the proposal.
You're viewing a single thread.
Would have been a lot cooler if Biden did this as a executive action. But you know spinless Democrats and all that...
But that would have upset the capital class and Biden is a proud capitalist so he would never put democracy before profits. Liberal Democrats only ever do things when they know that they don't have to worry about it actually happening.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks for expanding on this.
How would an executive action make this work? Can you explain that?
It would not. And they can not.
Same way Donny changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico
So he didn't, and made a falacy that effects all education for generations. What a fucking idiot of a president
