Hillary said in a taped speech to the Netroots Nation conference, “Today, I’m announcing that in my first 30 days as President, I will propose a constitutional amendment to overturn “Citizens United” and give the American people-all of us-the chance to reclaim our democracy.”
That supreme court decision said it was legal for corporations to spend money on political speech.

Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, No. 08-205, 558 U.S. 310 (2010), is a U.S. constitutional law case dealing with the regulation of campaign spending by organizations. The United States Supreme Court held (5–4) that Freedom of Speech prohibited the government from restricting independent political expenditures by a nonprofit corporation. The principles articulated by the Supreme Court in the case have also been extended to for-profit corporations, labor unions and other associations.
She doesn’t like it because the FEC had ruled that Citizens United could not produce a video opposing her earlier run for the presidency. They sued and won. She doesn’t like it because she can’t control the information like she wants to. Donald Trump has growled about the same thing, controlling the information. So has Erdogan after the coup attempt. So do most people in charge of totalitarian states.
Do we spend too much money on political campaigns, without a doubt. Controlling the money ain’t the solution, changing how we elect folks may be the answer.
Politicians, in most cases, want control, power. You know the old saying about power and corruption, reduce the power, reduce the corruption. Information is powerful tool to do so.
