Repealing Citizens United would likely mean waiting for one of the conservative justices to retire.
We might stand a better chance of pressuring congress to amend the constitution to say simply this:
The word person refers ONLY to individual living, breathing human beings.
fight the supreme court decision in January 2010 which allows corporations to fund political ads for candidates (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/22/us/politics/22scotus.html) ; consider term limits - granted it would mean losing some people who may be good at what they do however politicians spend too much of their term running for re-election and vote based on that fact as well that it might be worth the loss. I'm all for allowing a limit on the amount they spend on their campaign but how do you prevent an "under the table" transaction with a corporation?
