Saving American Democracy

The constitutional amendment Saving American Democracy was introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont to overturn the disastrous Supreme Court ruling known as Citizens United. The amendment states that:

* Corporations do not have the same constitutional rights as human beings.

* The people have the right to regulate corporations.

* Corporations are prohibited from making campaign contributions.

* Congress and states shall have the power to set reasonable limits on election spending.

Now, will enough voters wake up and stop the transformation of our democracy into a total plutocracy?
