Citizens United: what happened?

A video is worth a 1000 words. Here's what I'm talkin' about:



The Story of Citizens United v. FEC, released on March 1st, 2011 at storyofcitizensunited.org, explores the history of the American corporation and corporate political spending, the appropriate roles of citizens and for-profit corporations in a democracy and the toxic impact the Citizens United decision is already having on our political process. It ends with a call to amend the U.S. constitution to confirm that people—not corporations—make the decisions in a democracy.

To support the effort to pass a constitutional amendment to negate Citizens United, and to find out who is behind this superb video, click here.
