Given the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v Federal Election Commission that, under any fair analysis relative to the original intent of the Framers to the Constitution, must be adjudged an outrageous abridgment of the Framers' intent, follows is a proposed amendment to the Constitution. In the absence of an amendment to the Constitution, it is highly doubtful ameliorative legislated responses can mitigate or overturn the decision. Below is a proposed amendment that clarifies and restricts what the definitions are concerning "person" and "the people". If you agree that urgent action is necessary to combat the Supreme Court's assault on the integrity of governance, and find the proposed amendment applicable to that end, please copy the text of same, and forward it to everyone you know, to every federal legislator, to every state legislator, and to every media outlet.


For the purposes of protections and guarantees afforded to a person, or, in the plural, as persons or the people, under this United States Constitution, and which have been or shall come to be interpreted as such, "persons" and "people" shall constitute and be defined as pertaining exclusively to natural born human beings.

An "Old Army Vet" and liberal, qua liberal, with a passion for open inquiry in a neverending quest for truth unpoisoned by religious superstitions. Per Voltaire: "He who can lead you to believe an absurdity can lead you to commit an atrocity."
