Why oppose the amendment if you really want to get dark money out of politics? Otherwise you’re paying lip service to your hackery. 2017-2018 - why don’t Repugs pass a balanced budget amendment? Or better yet - only pass balanced budgets instead of adding $7.8 trillion to it? Dems govern. Repugs perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member SnowRider Posted January 20, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 20, 2023 JANUARY 21, 2021 Public Citizen Supports Bipartisan Constitutional Amendment to Overturn Citizens United https://www.citizen.org/news/bipartisan-constitutional-amendment-to-overturn-citizens-united-introduced/ One Repug WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Reps. Ted Deutch (D-Fla.), Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) and John Katko (R-N.Y.) today reintroduced a bipartisan constitutional amendment to get big money out of politics and restore democratic power to the American people. The Democracy for All Amendment (H.J.Res. 1) affirms the right of states and the federal government to pass laws that regulate spending in elections, reversing the concentration of political influence held by the wealthiest Americans and large corporations capable of spending billions of dollars in our elections. This legislation comes on the 11th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s disastrous ruling in the Citizens United case, which gave corporations and America’s wealthiest individuals the ability to corrupt our elections and undermine our democracy. Cosponsors include Reps. Nanette Barragan (D-Calif.), Joy Beatty (D-Ohio.), Suzanne Bonamici (D-Ore.), Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.), Val Demings (D-Fla.), Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), Jahana Hayes (D-Conn.), Alan Lowenthal (D-Calif.), Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.), Chris Pappas (D-N.H.), Dean Phillips (D-Minne), Chellie Pingree (D-Maine.) and Norma Torres (D-Calif.) In the 116th Congress, the Democracy for All Amendment had 221 bipartisan cosponsors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member SnowRider Posted January 20, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 20, 2023 As with most issues - Repugs are dragging their feet on real change. And the ignorance of their supporters is almost comical But that reality is lost on many voters. Citizens United has become too polarized. John Katko of New York is the only Republican member of Congress signed onto any campaign finance reform amendment proposal. Much of that is due to Mitch McConnell’s leadership within his party. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t also look at holes in the advocacy for an amendment. That doesn’t mean we should expect an amendment to pass through this House or Senate. It won’t. We need to understand that this is a long-term project. But no matter how long it takes, bipartisan support is essential. The push for a campaign finance reform amendment among Congressional Republicans can follow a similar trajectory to the fight for same-sex marriage, by steadily gaining support over time. In 2009, only 21 percent of Republicans supported same-sex marriage, but in less than a decade, that more than doubled to 47 percent https://washingtonmonthly.com/2020/07/25/a-realistic-strategy-for-overturning-citizens-united-within-10-years/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
