252— The 28th Amendment and How to Improve American Democracy

Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission was a Supreme Court case that was decided in January of 2010 that caused the balance of power in the democratic nature of the United States to be shifted strongly towards the favor of corporations. The decision was boiled down to the point that since there was no distinction between people and corporations in the First Amendment, corporations could not be restricted in their speech. This paved the way for corporations to donated unlimited amounts of money in favor of political candidates of their choice as long as it was not directly given to the candidate or in direct coordination with the candidates wishes. This is an unacceptable attack on democracy and this poster intends to amend this source of inequity.
