I agree, Robert, though I wonder if we really need much beyond an amendment that declares that money is not speech and corporations are not people. There are some other things I'd like to see, of course, like you and I have talked about having a set number of individuals a member of the House of Representatives represents, but I think a lot of our problems would work themselves out if we got money and corporate influence disentangled from politics for the most part.
