Clinton’s shift on campaign finance and why we need a 28th Amendment
On Tuesday, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton issued a set of proposals to reform our nation’s campaign finance system which included a call for a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizen United ruling and related rulings and to allow for overall spending limits in our elections. This marks a significant shift from Clinton’s prior statement on April 14, 2015, in which she qualified this call by saying: “We need to fix our dysfunctional political system and get unaccountable money out of it once and for all – even if it takes a constitutional amendment.” In subsequent statements, she has reiterated this call for an amendment, if necessary. This shift in Clinton’s campaign platform demonstrates the growing power of the movement for a 28th Amendment to reclaim our democracy.

The Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United v. FEC more than five years ago swept away longstanding precedent barring corporate money in our elections and led to today’s explosion of outside spending in our political process. The ruling also sparked a new movement for a constitutional amendment to end the big money dominance of our elections and to restore democracy to ‘we the people.’ Since the ruling, sixteen states and more than 650 cities and towns across the country have issued the call for this amendment with broad support from Americans across the political spectrum. This support includes 75 percent of the voters in Montana and Colorado, the two states thus far to have passed ballot initiatives calling for an amendment, and it includes more than 130 Republican officials throughout the nation. Clinton now joins presidential candidates Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) who have each called for an amendment to overturn the Citizens United decision.

Well, considering They prop up this "Bill of Rights" thing as if it still held sway - it was abandoned along with the original government when the Act of 1871 was passed. DC is a corporation and the idea that that bill applies is a myth They keep going.
You know how *I* would solve for psychopaths in control - remove the need to account for Our energy added into the system that enriches the few while leaving the rest in low income or poverty, and remove top-down controlmind. Both systems promote psychopaths (who pretend there is a Bill of Rights active).

While I applaud the heart behind the efforts, I ponder trying to "fix" Their system from within Their system. Better would be if We stopped consenting to the systems that promote psychopaths to power altogether.

You will have to forgive me, I find my age tiring, but its hearts, behind the efforts, I am allowed to enter into the network now, my trust is welcomed. There are 1264 members within, as of now 6001, that is a lot of supporters. Most of them are anonymous.
They are breaking the system down, as I study the anonymous activity against the system, I would say there are close to 30,000 activist engaged in sharing information,planning, and they are winning.

"Reclaim our democracy" - funny I thought the United States was meant to be a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.
So when they talk of the need to "restore democracy" - is that the by the same means and force that "democracy" was brought to Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and now with the help of Isis/ Islamic State /Isil /Daesh / or whatever the MSM is calling them this week - Syria.
The United States doesn't need a "'restoration" of democracy - since it was never meant to be a democracy in the first place.

DTOM,
Democracy, is the foundation of England, founded by years of ideas. Within your Constitution, there is no such word as Democracy, nor will you find this word in the different 50 State- Constitutions.
More and more people noticed something, the elite was pushing for a civil war, another England vs. The USA. It was being planned by the UN for gun control. The plan failed, now it is the UN vs. The USA, and at the same time England wants out of the European Union. A tax against the Queen, by the European Union Central Banking System.
Americans and the British were betrayed...
