I just got off the phone with a caller from the Midwest asking me to contact my N.J. state assemblyman and ask that he vote for ACR-149, which would apply to Congress for a limited constitutional convention to limit corrupting influence of money in politics and overturn Citizens United decision and related cases.
I searched it under ACR-149 NJ and looked it over. But then I looked at the sponsorship. Every one is a Democrat! That leads me to ask, what’s in it for the RAT party? Oh, that’s right...if the C.U. decision was overturned it would be simple to disguise the free speech rights (read: DOLLARS) of their companies and corporate backers as concerned citizens’ donations and opinions, and would hamper Republican fund raising from similar sources (since we don’t lie nearly as often or as well).
Am I missing anything?
Yes, you are missing something. Any such amendment, just like all the others, would have to be approved by the legislatures of 38 states in a certain period of time or it would expire.
