Supreme Court opens corporate $$ flood gates

I've been trying to think of what can be done to counter the horrible supreme court decision allowing corporations to directly fund political campaigns.
If corporations have free speech rights, maybe they can vote, be drafted, and get maried as well  (UGH!)

So today I got an email from Moving On announcing a campaign on the issue.   One objective would be (as mentioned by Obama last night) more congressional fair election regulation.   I'm just not sure what Congress's opion is given the supreme court ruling.

Moving On also will propose a Constitutional Amendment on campaign funding.   While it may never pass, I think that's a great idea and has a lot of potential for educating folks.   Who knows, maybe it would actually pass.
