</div><div>... Corporate entities, drawing upon million-dollar and </div><pre style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">billion-dollar treasuries to advance their corporate interests

and enhance their bottom-line, now have the capacity to drown

out the voices of hardworking Americans in Federal elections.

This unfettered corporate money released by Citizens United can

perhaps have the greatest impact and disproportionately high

return on investment for corporations in State and local

elections. One prominent example of this phenomena occurred in

Richmond, California last year.</pre><pre style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

    After the mayor and city council sought to limit pollution

and demand higher safety standards at a Chevron refinery in the

town,\101 Chevron poured $1.6 million into a Super PAC during

the 2012 city council race, defeating two council candidates

who supported the efforts.\102 </pre><pre style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">In addition to corporate

spending in the council races, almost $2.7 million was spent by

the American Beverage Association, Cinemark INC, and Regal

Entertainment to fund a campaign against a ballot measure that

would have taxed sugar-sweetened beverages.\103</pre><pre style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> As a result,

campaigns in Richmond spent at least $40 per resident in the

2012 election.\104 While $1.4 million was a drop in the bucket

for a billion-dollar company like Chevron, ordinary Richmond

residents were bombarded with the highest election expenditure

in the city's history.\105

    Corporations, of course, are not alone in their desire to

use their financial largess to influence the elections and

public policies impacting their interests. Citizens United and

its progeny have also given rise to an elite class of wealthy,

mega-donors who exercise tremendous influence on elections.</pre><pre style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

    For the millionaires and billionaires hoping to expand

their influence on elections, the Supreme Court's decision in

McCutcheon v. FEC is the gift that keeps on giving. McCutcheon

eliminated the $123,200 aggregate, per cycle cap on individual

donations to Federal candidates, PACs, and parties. Now,

wealthy donors can give as much as $3.5 million each cycle to

all candidates, parties, and PACs.\106 Those separate

donations can be transferred between and coordinated by the

groups, allowing donors to circumvent limits on donations to a

particular candidate or party....</pre><div>=<div><a href="https://www.newsweek.com/big-money-citizens-united-campaign-funding-1451687">https://www.newsweek.com/big-money-citizens-united-campaign-funding-1451687</a>
<div>Today, Senator Tom Udall (D-NM) introduces the Democracy for All Amendment to overturn Citizens United v. FEC and get big money out of politics. The bill is co-sponsored by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) along with 2020 presidential candidates Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA), Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT), Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO).<p style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px none; list-style: none outside none; margin: 20px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; width: 736.656px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">If passed and ratified, the Amendment will become the 28th Amendment to the US Constitution. This constitutional amendment will enable what the vast majority of Americans across the political spectrum urgently want, which are reasonable limits on money in state and federal elections to combat corruption, increase electoral competition, and protect the right of every American to speak, be heard and have representation in our political system.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px none; list-style: none outside none; margin: 20px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; width: 736.656px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">With a large number of Democratic Senators and presidential candidates joining in support of the proposal, and with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell adamantly opposed, some may be tempted to write this off as a partisan stunt.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px none; list-style: none outside none; margin: 20px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; width: 736.656px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Others may point to the high bar for constitutional amendments needing passage by two-thirds of Congress and ratification by three-quarters of the states.

So, only a constitutional amendment can fix the problem and give power to the American people and the states, curbing a race toward plutocracy.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px none; list-style: none outside none; margin: 20px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; width: 736.656px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Historically, amendments have come in turbulent times. Americans ratified four amendments between 1961 and 1971, just as their grandparents ratified four amendments between 1910 and 1920 to help bring America out of the crisis of inequality that marked the Gilded Age. Eight of amendments have nullified Supreme Court decisions.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px none; list-style: none outside none; margin: 20px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; width: 736.656px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">But historic analogy alone won't get an amendment ratified. Successful amendments must meet two critical requirements: A national consensus that it must be done, and ubiquitous citizen and political engagement that creates the will for the 2/3 vote in Congress and ratification across 38 diverse states.

Citizen grass-roots efforts from Republicans, Democrats and Independents have driven votes in scores of states and local communities that have passed resolutions for this amendment, typically with 70-85 percent popularity. In states from Montana to Maine, and Wyoming to New Hampshire, Republicans and Democrats have joined together to support an amendment to authorize effective election spending rules.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px none; list-style: none outside none; margin: 20px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; width: 736.656px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">As of this month, twenty states and more than 800 towns and cities have passed formal resolutions calling for the amendment.

</div><div>http://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2014/07/25/pass-the-28th-amendment-to-ensure-corporations-are-not-people</div><div>
</div><div>James Madison and the founding generation of Americans viewed the concentration of wealth and power as the greatest threat to constitutional self-government. Today, their fear is our reality. As a result, we see a broken government responsive only to the largest corporations and privileged few. We see ordinary Americans sidelined as spectators to a big money political game. We see formidable national and global challenges exacerbated by politicians operating in a systemically corrupted system.</div><div>
</div><div>The Supreme Court’s series of misguided 5-4 rulings such as Citizens United v. FEC has created special rights for “things,”such as money and corporations, while constricting the right of all people to be heard, to an equal vote, to representation and participation in self-government. And while billions of dollars of special interest money, often secret, flood our political process and corrupt our government, corporations from Hobby Lobby to Monsanto to Peabody Energy increasingly deploy the new “corporate veto” in the courts to skirt even the most basic public laws.</div><div>
</div><div>We can despair and give up on a government of, for and by the people. Or we can do what virtually every generation of Americans before us has done when we fall short of our promise of self-government – we can renew democracy with our power to amend the Constitution.</div><div>
</div><div>[SEE: Political Cartoons]</div><div>
</div><div>Constitutional amendments have always come in waves, beginning immediately after the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The convention was only able to win approval of the Constitution by the exercise of the amendment power of the people and the states. In the first four years of our new republic, Americans deployed the process required by Article V – approval by two-thirds of Congress and ratification by three-quarters of the states – to add the first 10 amendments, the Bill of Rights, to the Constitution. For good measure, Americans added the 11th Amendment in 1795, overturning a Supreme Court decision empowering private bondholders to haul states into federal court.</div><div>
</div><div>The next wave of Article V amendments came amid the tumult of the Civil War, with the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to end slavery, and to ensure equal protection, due process and voting rights for all, regardless of race. Three amendments in five years, and the broken promise of the American republic renewed.</div><div>
</div><div>At the turn of the 20th century, when concentrations of wealth and corporate power threatened liberty and self-government, Americans turned again to Article V. Three amendments between 1913 and 1920 (the 16th, 17th and 19th) reversed the Supreme Court’s decision striking down the federal income tax, ended the appointment of senators in favor of election by the people in the states, and secured the right to vote and participate in government, regardless of gender.</div><div>
</div><div>This pattern in times of economic, social, global and cultural shifts happens again and again, most recently with the adoption of four amendments in 10 years between 1961 and 1971. Three of these amendments better secured equality of voting and representation, with the prohibition of the “poll taxes” that had kept many citizens from the ballot, the expansion of representation to Americans in the District of Columbia, and the securing of equal voting rights for men and women over 18 years old.</div><div>
</div><div>[MORE: Cartoons about Congress]</div><div>
</div><div>Article V’s Constitutional amendment process has proved to be exactly the kind of tool of a sovereign, free people that the framers of the Constitution had in mind. It is our indispensable lever of self-government when grave threats to the promise of liberty and honest, effective self-government no longer can be ignored.</div><div>
</div><div>The 28th Amendment to overturn Citizens United and secure equal voting and participation for all Americans is picking up steam in Congress. The Senate will hold a floor vote this fall on an amendment resolution that already has 48 co-sponsors. More than 100 members of the House introduced a similar resolution on July 15, 2014. This did not begin in Congress, though, nor was the amendment hatched up as a partisan talking point at election time. Instead, Congress began to act only after millions of Americans – Republicans, Democrats and independents – said enough is enough.</div><div>
</div><div>Over the last four years, in hundreds of cities and towns, and 16 states, Americans have come together to propose and pass 28th Amendment resolutions by overwhelming, cross-partisan margins. In Montana, for example, on the day in November 2012 that President Obama lost the state by 10 percentage points, 75 percent of Montana voters approved a 28th Amendment ballot initiative.</div><div>
</div><div>The American promise is simple: Human beings are endowed with equal, fundamental rights. We safeguard those rights by establishing government accountable to all the people, with limitations and balances to prevent the kind of systemic corruption we now see before us. It’s time again to turn to the great American tool of self-government: our power to amend the Constitution to restore that promise. endit</div><div>=</div><div>
</div><div>On June 3, 2014, a hearing was held by the Senate Judiciary’s subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights to discuss SJR 19. SJR 19 is a joint resolution, introduced by Senator Tom Udall (New Mexico), proposing a 28th amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow Congress and the states to regulate the raising and spending of money in elections.</div><div>
</div><div>At that hearing, petitions with more than 2 million signers in support of an amendment were delivered to the subcommittee. When discussing SJR 19, Senator Udall stated that elections should be about the quality of ideas, not the size of bank accounts.</div><div>
</div><div>About 2 weeks later, on June 18, a debate was held and a successful vote taken to move SJR 19 from subcommittee to the full Senate Judiciary Committee. There will be debate on the resolution and a vote taken by the full Senate Judiciary Committee sometime later in July or after the Senate comes back from the August recess. If successful, which is highly likely, SJR 19 would then move to the full Senate. It is at that point where things would get difficult. You can help by calling your senators and asking them to support SJR 19.</div></div><div></div><div>Because SJR19 has also been introduced in the House (<a rel="nofollow" target="blank" href="http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=arafALJk9QII9R7wQcEYHUGJePisj3O%2F" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none; line-height: 1.2em;">HJR119</a>), call your US Representative as well with the same message.
