Rep. Pramila Jayapal has introduced a bill that would reverse Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the infamous Supreme Court decision that has unleashed a flood of corporate “dark money” into the U.S. election system.
. However, the bills vary in their mechanisms.in a fact sheet, the We the People Amendment goes slightly further than the Democracy For All Act.
The We the People Amendment would seek to end corporate personhood at the federal level, which the Democracy For All Act doesn’t address, according to the fact sheet. And We the People would create a mandate to limit contributions and expenditures, including forcandidates, while Democracy for All only specifies that Congress and state legislators “may” create such limits.
“Rep. Jayapal clearly understands that the changes she and many of her colleagues support to advance health care, expand economic justice, ensure a livable world, and promote real democracy are incredibly difficult but necessary.
“The exponential growth of corporate power and corrupting political influence from huge sums of money flooding elections can only be solved with a systemic solution that is equivalent in scale to these systemic problems — the We the People Amendment, which will end all corporate constitutional rights and money as free speech,” Guernica continued.
