The Movement: We Need A Constitutional Amendment

We need a constitutional amendment to prevent fascist corporations from dictating the country's prioroties. With and without the reversal of the Citizens United v. F.E.C. and McCutcheon rulings, the citizens of the United States need to affirm their absolute right to vote in each and every election - local, state and federal.

There are no guarantees in this existential Universe. Likewise, in Nature there is no punishment, only consequences.
Delve into any of the line items above and that self-education will deliver to you an advantage over your fellows,
who are blind sheeple complaining that the Universe makes no sense.
