David Cobb (above) a former presidential candidate and longtime activist advocating for the limit of the influence of money in politics will be joining Steve and Lew to update us on the Move to Amend movement. That grassroots effort seeks to overturn the Supreme Court Citizen’s United decision, which opened the flood gates of corporate cash for candidates by giving corporations the same rights as individuals. Allowing more money in politics, how’s that been working so far?
