The Saving American Democracy Amendment

It's about time! The corruption of the US political system caused by corporate personhood is so great that it is immeasurable at this point of time. The "Citizens United decision" by the Supreme Court(unlimited political contributions can be made by corporations) is only the tip of the iceberg. I'm really happy that someone finally had the balls to stand up for what is right... and in a sadly twisted way I'm looking forward to the list of scumbags who vote NO on this amendment.

Here is a petition in support (thanks to Boise_Lib)

The Citizen's United ruling is the nail in the coffin for the neo-conservative corporate take-over of the American democracy.
You just watch the 2012 Presidential elections and see how big money outstrips any substantial dealing with the issues that continue to impact the country, year after year after year.

Sadly, you'll never see that list of scumbags, because this will never be allowed to come to a vote. There are far too many tricks to enable them to avoid accountability, and you can bet your last dollar that they'll use every one of them against this.

You're right, but at least it's there right now. It may go away again, but at least americans have seen it. And if a lot of support is shown whilst the whole occupy movement is going on, and a public who have been dismayed by another recession... we're in a time like never before, people worldwide are beginning to wake up to realise the nature of the prison we've had built around us.

Something like this could, in some small way, be the spark that leads to a true representation of democracy and fairness. It's A spark at least.

1:01-1:05 "Madame President" - Obama have a recent medical procedure recently?

Ya ok, wrong president.

Anyway, this makes sense, is good for the country, and is ultimately doomed to fail.
