YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

"Citizens United" touched off a mass revolt. When people saw billionaire and corporate money flooding campaigns and SuperPAC spending skyrocketing, they rebelled. More than 700 local governments and 19 states called for a US constitutional amendment to roll back the Supreme Court's "Citizens United" decision.

In state after state, political amateurs like Cindy Black mobilized. "We do not believe that corporations are people,:" Black declared. "We do not believe money is speech." Black led the citizen movement in Washington State that was a model of grass roots democracy in action. It rolled up a solid 63% cross-partisan majority vote to reject "Citizens United."
