"I retired from teaching in 2011. I soon became an activist engaged in ending corporate personhood and money in politics. For me, it is empowering to stand up for justice as it goes to the core of my soul. I now have a voice." A Majority of the U.S. Senate Voted in Favor of a Constitutional Amendment!
The Democracy For All constitutional amendment (S.J. Res. 19) would have effectively overturned the Supreme Court’s rulings of Citizens United and McCutcheon and eliminated the influence of big money in politics. It was a put for a full vote by full Senate in September. 55 U.S. Senators - a majority of the Senate! - either voted "yes" or cosponsored the amendment. We didn't get the 67 votes that we need for a 2/3 majority, but this is a tremendous achievement for our movement.Congratulations to all of you who made it happen!
