Citizens United versus the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) continues to be widely detested. In a recent poll taken this year, United States citizens continue to oppose unlimited campaign spending by corporations or unions. Unfortunately, media is not covering the American people’s opinions about money in politics. The word needs to be spread and this Supreme Court decision needs to become recognized. In this clip, you will see a series of short interviews with pro-democracy activists talking about how they are moved to act of Citizens Untied.

Remember This is the "ROBERTS COURT" not the Supreme Court.

The following is a message to all those involved in the Occupy Wallstreet and/or 99% demonstrations:
All involved in the Occupy Movement please understand that you do not hold the key that unlocks the door to our US Congress. Only our big corporations have the key. You can easily, and with a minimum of effort, take the key away from the corporations and cause all members of Congress to respond to you instead of the corporations. All of you please click on or copy into your browser this link: http://signon.org/sign/take-money-out-of-politics and sign the petition. If all or at least most of our courageous Occupiers sign the petition it will force our US Congress to pay serious attention to it. At that point, when the petition is before Congress, it is the time to assemble a massive march in D.C. with one single demand. Voices and banners demanding something like “DEMOCRACY IN – MONEY OUT”. What is crucial here is for a great mass of people all simultaneously pursuing one single change. A single change that when implemented by the Amendment to our Constitution immediately and completely removes corporations’ power to influence and control our elected representatives in Congress and returns our government of the people by the people and for the people. Again, to sign the petition click on or copy and paste into your browser: http://signon.org/sign/take-money-out-of-politics
