The Citizens United ruling has brought a flood of shadowy, corporate money into our political process. It's an attack on our democracy. In a system where one person, one vote is supposed to be the rule, huge corporations are having an outsized influence I support the Reverse Citizens United Amendment to reverse the effects of the anti-democratic Citizens United decision. Elections must be determined by voters - not deep-pocketed corporations I am in favor of Hawai'i County Council Resolution 263-12, which urges the United States Congress to pass and send to the states for the ratification of a constitutional amendment to reverse Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission (2010) and to clarify that corporations are not entitled to the constitutional protections or "rights" of natural persons.
