[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 899175, member: 18708"] The premise of the "move to amend" as I understood is to reverse the 2008 decision Citizens_United_v._Federal_Election_Commission which bottom line, corporations or unions cannot endorse advertising for or against political candidates 60 days prior to elections. In my opinion; if you watch TV, listen to radio, etc and are influenced by that outside source ( which of course is generally toxic information) then you take the risk of being "bought" by corporations. Most of the U.S. sway is bought by corporations every day, many times without having known they were. I'm having trouble seeing why voters and their decisions are not held accountable, instead of the swindlers, who are spending the money? [/QUOTE]
