People for the American Way (PFAW) is officially commending Senators Tom Udall (D-NM) and Michael Bennet (D-CO), among others, for introducing and supporting a constitutional amendment to reverse the Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission ruling that upheld corporate personhood and protected the right of corporations, as people with protected free speech, to throw money into politics.

According to the StatesColumn.com,

Mr. Udall’s proposal would authorize Congress to regulate the raising and spending of money for federal political campaigns, including independent expenditures, and allow states to regulate such spending at their level. It would also provide for implementation and enforcement of the amendment through legislation.

As Udall said at a press conference, “Letting this go unchecked is a threat to our democracy. Campaigns should be about the best ideas, not the biggest checkbooks."

IMHO, This should have been done THE DAY of that ruling!
