There is a real, actionable way to accomplish overturning Citizens United. 3/4 of the state legislatures, if in agreement, can pass an amendment to the constitution. This supercedes the federal congress. Several states have already ratified, including Illinois and Rhode Island.
State government is still much less corrupt than federal, and many state governments can get on board with this. We just need more voices, more support, and more attention. This IS possible. Check out groups like Move To Amend or WolfPAC to get involved.
Do I really need to point out that Bernie has been pushing campaign finance reform, including making the overturning Citizens United a central campaign issue since pre-2010? Cmon bro, don't lie now.
This guy's book is fantastic btw
PLEASE READ AND UPVOTE!
