US really needs to ban donations from corporations and cap individual donations
Unfortunately, with the Citizens United ruling it feels like we went the extreme other direction here. It makes me wonder if things will ever improve here (as far as our politicians go).
- lukeschlather 15y agoSenator Bernie Sanders brought in a bill last week to amend the constitution to invalidate Citizens United: http://sanders.senate.gov/petition/?uid=f1c2660f-54b9-4193-86a4-ec2c39342c6c http://sanders.senate.gov/petition/?uid=f1c2660f-54b9-4193-8... This is something that could actually pass if people rally around it.
- dbattaglia 15y agoI saw this recently, and I really do applaud Sanders for still fighting the good fight, but a constitutional amendment has got to be one of the hardest things for our government to do. I just don't see everyone getting behind an independent liberal over an issue that most people seem to not care about anymore. <sigh> We'll see though, trying to remain hopeful.
