Interesting... Statement By Patrick Leahy Of Vermont Seems To Recognize Wolf-PAC...

[WillyT]

I have heard from countless Vermonters about how the Supreme Court’s decisions threaten the constitutional rights of hardworking Americans who want to have their voices heard, not drowned in a sea of corporate special interests and a flood of campaign ads on television. Not only have Vermonters urged me to advance a constitutional amendment in the Senate, but they have acted themselves on this vital issue by calling for a constitutional convention. Just as Vermonters led the nation in protecting gay rights, in pressing for the abolition of slavery, and in advancing the idea of public education, Vermonters now are determined to advance the debate over money in politics so that our democracy will not be transformed into an oligarchy. Vermont’s call for a constitutional convention is a separate approach for amending the Constitution that can operate on a parallel track to the congressional approach that we are initiating today. It is my hope that the two efforts can work in tandem to create even more momentum on this critical issue.
