The Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United opened the floodgates for
unlimited, unregulated campaign spending by corporations and wealthy
individuals. Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Ted Deutch proposed a
constitutional amendment to undo the disastrous decision. They spoke on
Sept. 17 with People for the American Way President Michael Keegan,
Public Citizen President Rob Weissman, The Nation's John Nichols and
documentary filmmaker Tia Lessin. The forum on how the Citizens United
ruling has changed the American political landscape concluded with a
presentation of "Citizen Koch" by the Academy Award-nominated filmmakers
Carl Deal and Tia Lessin.
