In the year and a half since the Citizens United decision, Americans from all walks of life have become concerned about corporate dominance of our government and our society as a whole. In Citizens United v. FEC, the U.S. Supreme Court (in an act of outrageous “judicial activism) gutted existing campaign finance laws by ruling that corporations, wealthy individuals, and other entities can spend unlimited amounts of money on political campaigns.

Throughout the country people have responded by organizing against “corporate personhood,” a court-created precedent that illegitimately gives corporations rights that were intended for human beings.

In Los Angeles, citizens have joined together and asking the City of Los Angeles to endorse the "Resolution to Free US Democracy from Corporate Control." This is a non-binding resolution that calls for a constitutional amendment to establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.
