Its been six years since The United States Supreme Court issued its Citizens United decision which determined that political campaign contributions from corporations are protected as a first amendment right under the condition’s of corporate personhood. Since then the amount of corporate money donated to election campaigns has double between 2010 and 2015, according to The Brennan Center for Justice. Today we talk to David Cobb and organizer with Move to Amend, one of the largest advocacy groups working to reverse the Citizens United decision. He will be traveling around Florida this to mobilize support to end corporate personhood and money as protected speech.
