11 Attorneys General Support Amendment to Overturn Citizens United 
-------------------------------------------------------------------



Eleven state attorneys general have issued a letter to Congress
declaring their support for a Constitutional amendment that would
overturn Citizens United, the controversial 2010 Supreme Court ruling
that opened the floodgates for unlimited corporate spending on election
campaigns. The advocacy group, Free Speech for People, hailed the move
as a step toward reclaiming democracy.
