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!
