Move On email on Citizens United vote:

Dear MoveOn member,

The Senate just voted to advance a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. For the first time in history, every single senator will be forced to say—on the record—whether or not they think money is speech.

This is momentous. It's a once-in-a-generation opportunity. It's nothing short of amazing that Mitch McConnell and his fellow Republicans didn't block this bill entirely—as they've done with nearly every other priority issue of most Americans, like the minimum wage and student debt.

We've built enough grassroots pressure that they couldn't squash this. McConnell is trying to make lemonade out of this—he claims that he welcomes the debate. But 80 percent of American oppose Citizens United. Even 72 percent of Republicans think the Supreme Court got it wrong.

So now, it's on. The Senate will debate money in politics this week—and a full vote is expected Thursday.

2. A horrible amendment that would allow Congress to ban books and movies,

but would still allow Rupert Murdoch to spend unlimited billions to influence elections.
