a congressional summit to overturn citizens united
Bookmarked 711 weeks ago so what did we learn from monday night039s defeat of the buffet rule in the senate well - first and foremost - we learned that republicans in the senate did exactly what their billionaire campaign donors told them to do - prevent a tax increase on the romney rich we also learned that a majority of senators can039t pass legislation anymore 51 out of 100 senators voted for the buffet rule - a clear majority - but the bill failed - because of a republican filibuster and we also learned that the american people have lost their voice on capitol hill a recent cnn poll found that 72 of americans - including a majority of republicans - support that very same buffet rule that the republicans blocked in the senate monday night unfortunately - those 72 of americans don039t have multi-millionaire lobbyists like multimillionaire grover norquist working for them and therefore can039t buy off lawmakers to listen to them and now - thanks to the supreme court039s citizens united decision - a millionaire can walk up to a member of congress and threaten to fund a campaign for their opponent in the next election if he or she doesn039t vote the way the millionaire wants with that power - don039t expect the oligarchs039 grip on power to loosen at least not until we pass a constitutional amendment to overturn citizens united and explicitly say that corporations are not people and that money is property - not speech luckily - there are some in congress working to do just that members of congress - activists and leaders within the movement to overturn citizens united will meet for a summit on capitol hill what will be discussed at the summit - and what do attendees hope to accomplish congressman ted deutch from florida039s 19th district will be at the summit and he039s here tonight to tell us more about itjoin the movement to kick corporations and the romney super-rich out of our elections - go to movetoamendorg |
