I can think of few more important pieces of legislation than this: overturning the Supreme Court decision that gave corporations personhood to make campaign contributions. Here is an opportunity to do something about it.

A Petition to Support the Saving American Democracy Amendment

Sen. Bernie Sanders has proposed a constitutional amendment that would overturn the Supreme Court decision in a case called Citizens United vs. FEC.

The Saving American Democracy Amendment states that:

* Corporations are not persons with constitutional rights equal to
real people.
* Corporations are subject to regulation by the people.
* Corporations may not make campaign contributions.
* Congress and states have the power to regulate campaign finances.
