Forum Post: Get Money Out of Politics

Dylan Ratigan, news personality formerly of CNBC, now on MSNBC has kicked off a movement to GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS by offering a very simple Amendment. You can sign the petition here: http://www.getmoneyout.com/ Getting money out of politics will go a long way to fixing at least part of the structural issues that have allowed our country to be controlled by monied interests. Here is the amendment: "No person, corporation or business entity of any type, domestic or foreign, shall be allowed to contribute money, directly or indirectly, to any candidate for Federal office or to contribute money on behalf of or opposed to any type of campaign for Federal office. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, campaign contributions to candidates for Federal office shall not constitute speech of any kind as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution or any amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Congress shall set forth a federal holiday for the purposes of voting for candidates for Federal office."
