• corporations can spend unlimited money influencing our elections right  up to Election Day.
• Any candidate who doesn't  toe the corporate line can look forward to a flood of opposition cash
• a corporation with  billions to spend on advertising is no different from a human being with  one voice and one vote goes
• equal protection under the law
• Corporations are now a sort of super-being: They can live forever, they cannot be jailed, they have no conscience-yet they also enjoy virtually all the rights that humans have.
• common sense of the American people, who have recognized a need to prevent corporations from undermining self-government
• Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF), founded by Thomas Linzey in 1995, has long championed abolishing corporate personhood
• Move to  Amend, a coalition that launched its Web site the day the Citizens  United decision came down.
• Free Speech for People (FSFP)
• with Rep.  Donna Edwards (D-Md.) on the amendment she has introduced in the  House, which restores the right of Congress and the states to regulate  corporate spending.
