The Citizens United Case has become infamous as the greatest legal con job in American history--the Supreme Court decided that corporations, as virtual persons, have the same free speech rights as you or I. This vital update shows how the movement to overturn Citizens United has passed in 16 states, but warns that the forces of money in politics are fighting back with FEC vs. McCutcheon and a recent reversal of a 100 year-old law in Montana against corporate money. The fight ain't over people (real ones that is)!
