Local group attempts to amend Constitution over Citizens United decision

February 19, 2012

A Bloomington group is petitioning an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that could change the face of future elections.

The petition, “Move to Amend: South Central Indiana,” stems from a 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, in which the Court recognized corporations as people with the ability to endorse election candidates under the First Amendment.

This could lead to those with more money dominating the democratic process, said Charlotte Zietlow, the group’s press secretary.
