A post from B Geary... The United States Constitution is a living document. The framers prophetically built in a system for amending it so that it would always help the American people realize our shared ideals. And — with practically unlimited spending by billionaires and Big Business corrupting our elections — it’s time to amend it for the 28th time. This Monday, September 8, the U.S. Senate will hold its first historic vote on a constitutional amendment to overturn Supreme Court rulings, like Citizens United, that have put us on a path of replacing democracy with plutocracy. Your senators need to hear from you before the vote! 1. Call your senators right now at this toll-free number: 866-937-7983. 2. Say this to the staffer who answers the phone: “I’m calling in support of S.J. Res. 19, the Democracy for All constitutional amendment.” 3. That’s it — you won’t have to get into a debate. In three days, the gavel will strike on the Senate floor. Will your senators stand with the millions of everyday Americans --or with a few plutocrats and their super PAC $$$? You know the damage the dreadful Citizens United and McCutcheon rulings have done to our democracy. But this Monday, We the People can make sure our country will not be ruled by elites but a democracy for all. Call your senators TODAY at 866-937-7983. With your calls, we will move ever closer to overturning Citizens United and move our country forward for the next generation.
