Hillary Clinton calls for anti-Citizens United Constitutional Amendment


Hillary Clinton just laid out one of her top priorities at her first campaign event -- and called for an END of dark money in politics. She wants to start an anti-Citizens United Constitutional Amendment.

Hillary announced: “We need to fix the dysfunctional political system and get unaccountable money out of it once and for all -- even if that takes a constitutional amendment!”

Ya can't turn a remark like:

“We need to fix the dysfunctional political system and get unaccountable money out of it once and for all -- even if that takes a constitutional amendment!”

Into:

"Hillary Clinton calls for anti-Citizens United Constitutional Amendment"

Thanks.

For her speeches, including prep time, etc.

Where does she get off calling out CEOs when she's just as bad?

But people work within the system as it exists, even if they don't like it. She would be foolish not to be paid what the market would bare, when she was no longer in government. Now for the next year and a half, she will give speeches and not be paid anything. That should make you very happy.
