As president, Bernie will fight to:

Pass a Constitutional Amendment that makes clear that money is not speech and corporations are not people. By doing so, we will:

Overturn the Supreme Court ruling that says money is speech: Buckley v. Valeo.

Pass legislation to end super PACs, political spending by 501c4s and other organizations who accept unlimited contributions or do not disclose donors.

Overturn Citizens United, which allows corporations to spend unlimited money on elections.
