Citizens United and Super Duper PACs

I have a thread on Money in Politics generally (Money, Influence, Corporations, Corruption, Lobbying), but there is a growing awareness (GOOD!) about the Citizens United decision, so I'm making a category/thread just for it--and abolishing it. education and information is/will be important in building grassroots support critical to actually getting a constitutional amendment. So let's get up to speed and start spreading the word! :)

Money, Influence, Corporations, Corruption, Lobbying

Until we fix how money courses thru elections and electeds' offices, we're always going to have a government and legislation written for the interest of those w/ the most $$$ (corporations!) and not that of the American people (98% 99.5% of whom don't have terribly a lot of $$--and certainly not enough to tip the influence of corporations).

UPDATE: I've made a separate collection just for  Citizens United
