Subject: I am submitting testimony in support of Hawaii County Council Resolution 263-12
Aloha e,
I am submitting testimony in support of Hawai'i County Council
Resolution 263-12.
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.
