͞As the political season heats up, Americans are already being inundated with the usual phone calls,
mailings, and TV ads from campaigns all across the country.

But this summer, they͛re also seeing a flood of attack ads run by shadowy groups with harmless-sounding names.

We don͛t know who͛s behind these ads and we don͛t know who͛s paying for them. ͟ - Transcript

Amendment V.
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise
infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of
a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval
forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of
War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for
the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb;
nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness
against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property,
without due process of law; nor shall private property be
taken for public use, without just compensation.
The reason this is happening is because of a decision by the Supreme Court in the Citizens United case ʹ a decision that now allows big
corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money to influence our elections.

They can buy millions of dollars worth of TV ads ʹ and worst of all, they don͛t even have to reveal who is actually paying for them.

You don͛t know if it͛s a foreign-controlled corporation. You don͛t know if it͛s BP. You don͛t know if it͛s a big insurance company or a Wall Street
Bank.

A group can hide behind a phony name like ͞Citizens for a Better Future,͟ even if a more accurate name would be ͞Corporations for Weaker
Oversight.͟

Amendment XIX.
Passed by Congress June 4, 1919. Ratifi ed
August 18, 1920.
The right of citizens of the United States to
vote shall not
be denied or abridged by the United States or
by any State
on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this
article by appropriate
legislation.

We tried to fix this last month. There was a proposal supported by Democrats and Republicans that would͛ve required corporate political

advertisers to reveal who͛s funding their activities. When special interests take to the airwaves, whoever is running and funding the ad would

have to appear in the advertisement and take responsibility for it ʹ like a company͛s CEO or an organization͛s biggest contributor.

And foreign-controlled corporations and entities would be restricted from spending money to influence American elections ʹ

just as they were in the past.

SECTION 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United
States and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens
of the United
States and of the State wherein they reside. No
State shall
make or enforce any law which shall abridge
the privileges
or immunities of citizens of the United States;
nor shall
any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or
property,
without due process of law; nor deny to any
person within
its jurisdiction the equal protection of the
laws.
You would think that making these reforms would be a matter of common sense.

You͛d think that reducing corporate and even foreign influence over our elections wouldn͛t be a partisan issue.

But the Republican leaders in Congress said no. In fact, they used their power to block the issue from even coming up for a vote.

We the People of the United States, in Order to


form a
more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure
domestic
Tranquility, provide for the common defence,
promote
the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings
of Liberty to
ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and
establish this
Constitution for the United States of America.
This can only mean that the leaders of the other party want to keep the public in the dark.

They don͛t want you to know which interests are paying for the ads.

The only people who don͛t want to disclose the truth are people with something to hide.
Well, we cannot allow the corporate takeover of our democracy.

So we͛re going to continue to fight for reform and transparency.

And I urge all of you to take up the same fight. Let͛s challenge every elected official who benefits from these ads to defend this practice or join us

in stopping it.

SECTION. 8.
The Congress shall have Power To lay and
collect Taxes,
Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts
and provide
for the common Defence and general Welfare
of the United
States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall
be uniform
throughout the United States;
To borrow Money on the credit of the United
States;
At a time of such challenge for America, we can͛t afford these political games.

Millions of Americans are struggling to get by, and their voices shouldn͛t be drowned out by millions of dollars in secret, special interest advertising.

Their voices should be heard.

Let͛s not forget that a century ago, it was a Republican President ʹ Teddy Roosevelt ʹ who first tried to tackle the issue of corporate influence on

our elections.

He actually called it ͞one of the principal sources of corruption in our political affairs.͟

And he proposed strict limits on corporate influence in elections.

͞Every special interest is entitled to justice,͟ he said.

͞but not one is entitled to a vote in Congress, to a voice on the bench, or to representation in any public office.͟

SECTION. 3.
He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information
of the State of the Union, and recommend to their
Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary
and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions,
convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of
Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of
Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he
shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other
public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully
executed, and shall Commission all the Offi cers of the
United States.
We now face a similar challenge, and a similar opportunity to prevent special interests from gaining even more clout in Washington.

This shouldn͛t be a Democratic issue or a Republican issue.

This is an issue that goes to whether or not we will have a democracy that works for ordinary Americans ʹ a government of, by, and for the people.

Let͛s show the cynics and the special interests that we still can.

SECTION. 3.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying
War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving
them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted
of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the
same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment
of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption
of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the
Person attainted.

Based on the Transcript and what was found in the United States Constitution,

Methods provided by Democracy are used to isolate the American Federal Republic͛s Judicial
and Executive Branches in the United States of America.

If this is a War Act against the people of the United States as described above, then these
corporations provably serving Alien Interests should name the Source providing money and
from that aspect the Phone Calls described in the Transcript Made by these Groups ʹ Hidden
Corporations may be interpreted as an Act of Invasion when it comes to the Privacy and Peace
of Mind of the Individual currently holding the property he / she lives in, the Phone Calls can be
used to acquire critical information on how the average American Thinks to isolate the Congress
and the House of Representatives and the U.S. President using large scale Propaganda based on
the information the Phone Calls or Polls will give to the groups indirectly Serving these
Corporations or Alien Interests when it comes to the United States of America.
