The Fight Against Money in Politics

Efforts to address the influence of money in politics gained traction after the Citizens United decision. Various organizations emerged, such as American Promise and Free Speech for People, aiming to push for constitutional amendments that would limit financial contributions in political campaigns. Many of these groups emphasize grassroots mobilization to encourage representation in political discussions, focusing on amending the Constitution to counter the impact of super PACs and the flood of money in politics. However, a fundamental challenge has surfaced; constitutional amendments seem increasingly difficult to achieve in the current political climate.
