A revised and updated edition of the definitive guide to overturning Citizens United.
Since the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling that the rights of things—money and corporations—matter more than the rights of people, America has faced a crisis of democracy. In this timely and thoroughly updated second edition, Jeff Clements describes the strange history of this bizarre ruling, its ongoing destructive effects, and the growing movement to reverse it.
He includes a new chapter, 'Do Something!,' showing how—state by state and community by community—Americans are using creative strategies and tools to renew democracy and curb unbalanced corporate power. Since the first edition, sixteen states, one-hundred-sixty members of Congress, and five hundred cities and towns have called for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, and the list is growing. This is a fight we can win!
'More relevant than ever, this updated edition of Corporations Are Not People chronicles the remarkably vibrant, nationwide grassroots movement to 'get money out and voters in.' ' —Katrina vanden Heuvel, Editor and Publisher, The Nation
The Citizens United Case has become infamous as the greatest legal con job in American history--the Supreme Court decided that corporations, as virtual persons, have the same free speech rights as you or I. In this masterful essay, Jeffrey Clements shows why this single decision has enormous consequences for our human rights. He lays out the one means we have left--a constitutional amendment--to reclaim our country.
