There is a danger in democracy itself.

When you are subverting the power of government, that's a fundamentally dangerous thing to democracy.

A large majority of Americans believe that corporations exert too much influence on our daily lives and our political process.

The Democracy is for People Amendment will stop corporations and their front groups from using their profits and dark money donations to influence our elections while reaffirming the right of the American people to elections that are fair and representatives that are accountable.

The idea that corporations have the same First Amendment protections of free speech as people is troubling. Corporations are not people. They don't attend our schools, get married and have children. They don't vote in our elections.

Corporations serve an important purpose, but telling people how to vote isn't one of them.

Corporations are the new dictators.

Large corporations, of course, are blinded by greed. The laws under which they operate require it - their shareholders would revolt at anything less.

Big corporations have money and power to make sure every rule breaks their way; people have voices and votes to push back.

If corporations are people, as the Supreme Court wishes us to believe, they are stunningly unpatriotic ones.
