Occupy the Constitution

Wonkbook:
On Friday, Rep. Ted Deutch (D-Fla.) introduced the first piece of federal legislation directly inspired by the [Occupy] movement. Outlawing Corporate Cash Undermining the Public Interest in our Elections and Democracy (OCCUPIED) would amend the Constitution to outlaw the use of all corporate money in elections, not only undoing the biggest changes under Citizens United but also going after the legal concept of “corporate personhood” altogether.
Follow the link for Susy Kimm's interview on the proposal with Representative Deutch.
