I would not assume your congresspeople/senators know this.

It is all sizzle and no steak when Dems make a play for something doomed for failure. The corporate personhood bullshit is a direct hit to the democratic process. Dark money has corrupted the Supreme Court to the level of pay-to-play. All of the cash and carry politics have to be reversed. They are the keys to the kingdom.
