We can change the country, it is a democracy and it is in our hands
-Doris Kearns Goodwin.
The Supreme Court got it wrong in Citizens United v FEC and it’s not the first time. The Supreme Court decided that African Americans could never be citizens, they decided that women do not have the right to vote, they decided that there was nothing wrong with a poll tax that blocked equal voting rights. All those decisions and more were overturned by Americans using the Constitutional amendment process. Now it’s our turn.
Watch Pulitzer-Prize winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin and some of the founders of American Promise on the history of Constitutional amendments and why a 28th Amendment to overturn Citizens United is 100% possible and 100% necessary now so that America is governed by people, not big money.
A massive national movement to win 28th Amendment to restore our right as Americans to protect the integrity of our elections and our equal citizenship by limiting spending and contributions in elections is already well on the way. Over 5 Millions of Americans have petitioned Congress for such an amendment, sixteen states and 700 cities and towns have passed 28th Amendment resolutions.
Time to ramp it up. Watch and share this video, and let’s work to win this now.
