End Corporate "Personhood" - Ideas for Change in America: Democracy Unlimited Discusses Corporate Personhood, Citizens United v. FEC on the Radio

Democracy Unlimited Discusses Corporate Personhood, Citizens United v. FEC on the Radio

Published October 26, 2009 @ 12:31PM PT

David Cobb and Ashley Sanders of Democracy Unlimited of Humboldt County recently broke down the Citizens United case and the issue of corporate personhood in a radio interview with Robert Nelson on Salt Lake City's KRCL 90.9. Listen to the full interview here.

The Citizens United case was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court on September 9th, and a decision is pending. The Court is considering overturning legislation that currently limits corporate campaign contributions in federal elections. Lawyers for Citizens United have argued that such limits interfere with corporate constitutional rights. Democracy Unlimited and other organizations have filed amicus briefs arguing against corporate personhood and corporate rights. You can read this brief and others at the SCOTUS Wiki page on the case.
