Clean Energy Radio Supports "Move To Amend"

I know I harbor a great deal of pessimism/cynicism about the corruption that has engulfed our political process.  But I have to say the Move To Amend people have really kicked some major butt, to use a not-too-scholarly term, in the effort to pass a constitutional amendment to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission ruling and declare that only human beings – not corporations – are entitled to constitutional rights and that money is not speech and campaign spending can be regulated.

In fact, the country voted overwhelmingly in favor of this concept in yesterday’s elections.  From their newsletter: 

Residents in over 100 cities had the opportunity to vote on measures calling for an end to the doctrines of corporate constitutional rights and money as free speech, and in every single town the vote was supportive. Often by an overwhelming margin. In Eau Claire, WI the vote was 71% in favor of a measure stating, “Should the US Constitution be amended to establish that regulating political contributions and spending is not equivalent to limiting freedom of speech, by stating that only human beings, not corporations, unions, or PACs, are entitled to constitutional rights?”

I have spoken with Move To Amend spokesperson David Cobb a couple of times, including a 30-minute interview for my Clean Energy Radio show.  The man’s a human firecracker.  Keep up the good work!
