Episode 5: Who's Actually Talking?
from What We Leave Hosted by Robert Jacobson
When we make decisions as a country, whose voice actually carries weight? The 2024 election cycle cost about $20 billion and most of that didn't come from ordinary people. About 80% of Americans, across party lines, say money in politics threatens our elections. The Supreme Court decisions tied lawmakers' hands. Robert explores the For Our Freedom Amendment, a constitutional amendment effort that's gained support from 24 states; red and blue alike to restore the ability of Congress and states to set reasonable limits on political spending. Topics: money in politics, Citizens United, For Our Freedom Amendment, American Promise, campaign finance, constitutional amendment, democracy
