Amendment to overturn Citizen's United
Amendments introduced so far do not close loopholes. The 2nd part as proposed by Move to Amend, "money is not speech" needs to be included in any amendment. If none of us had to donate to politicians' campaigns we would be assured that the elected official was not influenced by anyone's money.
A shorter campaign with debates as they used to be- given during donated times on major networks, news that is not planted by heavily funded groups but reported by newspaper reporters, would begin to restore trust.
HR House Joint Resolution 29 introduced February 14, 2013 addresses both aspects.,, Corporations are not persons. Money is not speech.
