U.S. REP. JIM MCGOVERN (MA02) REINTRODUCES PEOPLES RIGHTS AMENDMENT

| Posted in Press Releases

Today marks the five-year anniversary of the Supreme Court’s dreadful Citizens United decision, in which the Court ruled that corporations have the same right to free speech as people. Despite the ruling in Citizens United, the Constitution was never intended to give corporations the same rights as the American people. My amendment clarifies that corporations, whether they are for-profit or non-profit entities, are not people with constitutional rights.
