Vermont Says: Corporations Are Not People!

Democracy and Transparency in the Wake of Citizen’s United

The framers of the US Constitution intended that Constitutional rights be granted to individuals, to the people. (A democratic government of, for, and by the people) The first amendment guarantees free speech and a free press. The Supreme Court on January 21, 2010 in its Citizen United decision equated free speech with corporate spending on political campaigns. While the economy may benefit from business success, democracy benefits when individual voices are heard. Democracy is forever altered when corporate economic power can silence individual voices within the democratic process. By allowing corporations to give unlimited dollars to political ads, the Supreme Court undermines our democratic heritage.
