Greenpeace takes on Citizen's United.

In only a matter of days (click here) — September 8 — the United States Senate will vote on a landmark constitutional amendment that would be the first step to overturn Citizens United and ensure that OUR DEMOCRACY IS NOT FOR SALE.

The amendment is simple. It would give We the People the ability to regulate and limit campaign spending by Big Business and the super-rich. It would mean a government that would represent our interests, not the interests of fossil fuel companies or the Koch brothers.

Momentum is building: As of right now, 50 out of 100 senators are on board.

We still have time to demonstrate our support for this bold effort to reclaim our democracy. The vote on this resolution is a vital first step for a constitutional amendment to end the influence of money in politics. 

Send a message to your Senator now to support of Senate Joint Resolution 19, to ensure that our lawmakers protect our voices from getting drowned out by big money.
