Money is speech -- or is it? George Will and his ideological allies say it is. But the Move to Amend movement is designed to eliminate the concept of money as speech. It targets corporate personhood, and seeks an amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
The national movement is hosting a series of events across the country throughout July, including one in Rochester. We talk to the people behind the effort, and we discuss why they think there's momentum against the notion of money as speech. Our guests:
- David Cobb, founder and outreach director of Move to Amend
- Padme Livingstone, facilitator for the Rochester Pachamama Alliance
