The United States is a nation that prides itself for its representative democracy, where the size of one’s bank account should never determine one’s influence in government.
In the Citizens United case the Supreme Court opened our political system to being overwhelmed by the corrupting influence of uncapped money from economic elites and special interests. The Supreme Court believes that these campaign expenditures are a constitutional free speech right entitled to corporations. However the constitution needs be amended to guarantee that unalienable free speech rights are exclusive to the people alone so Congress can pass strong campaign finance laws to guarantee that our representatives are dependent on "we the people" rather than those funding their campaigns.
