This is How Overturning Citizens’ United Starts
States and towns all over the US are taking to their legislatures and city councils to call for the repeal of Citizens’ United — to remove the corporate personhood fiction and to prioritize the voices of non-Corporate Americans in the political process:
- California’s legislature passed a resolution calling on Congress to pass a Constitutional Amendment to overturn Citizens’ United
- Vermont towns are lining up to support a similar resolution
- Hawaii and New Mexico have passed resolutions calling for a Constitutional Amendment to repeal
- The New York Assembly has passed a resolution calling for Citizens’ United repeal out of committee today and will go to the full Assembly for a vote
- Cities and towns in Massachusetts are also voting calling for repeal and there is a push to get the legislature to join them.
There’s more — a slow but definite insistence that Congress do the right thing and make certain that America’s corporations are not officially more privileged than its citizens.
It’s alot to ask from a state officially in bed with corporations, but how about it Delaware? You can pass a resolution calling for the outrage of Citizen’s United to be overturned via Constitutional Amendment. The majority of the citizens here will thank you for it!

The City of Newark did just this on Monday night. Wilmington is on deck.
Right now, the Supreme Court is the biggest threat to America. You have 4 “judges” who have long ago thrown off even a facade of impartiality. They are active in radical conservative action groups and dont even make an attempt to cover over their hatred for Obama. Justices Stevens and Ginsberg will not stay around for another 8 years…. God Bless RBG, pound for pound, she is the toughest person probably to ever serve on the SCOTUS….. but let’s be realistic.
If Obama is not re-elected there will be 6 justices ready and willing to follow Rush’s orders. It will be the doom of this nation.
Citizens United is not going anywhere as long as the 4 bastards are still in their robes.
Thanks Ralph Nader, Al Gore and Donna Brazile!
It will be the labor of a generation but a constitutional amendment must be passed to ban Citizens United for all time. While we’re at it I might suggest the court be limited in thier seemingly all mighty power to disrupt the nation.
How the Supreme Court could think we need MORE corporate money is politics is beyond me. Let’s get rid of Citizens United.
