This video points out one solution to our constitutional crisis and reversing Citizens United, and touts it as being the only way. It definitely seems to be, from the video presentation, a very good way to fix our broken government and political system. Yet, there are also other movements out there that aim to accomplish pretty much the same thing: MoveToAmend.org, TYT's Wolg-Pac.com, and others. Has anyone done a survey of all of these different movements and analyzed the pros and cons of each? I worry that the people of the US may not be able to achieve sufficient consensus and come together in sufficient unity to get the job done. Which movement is the best? Which should we get behind?

which would say that money is not speech and corporations are not people. But then we would still have the massive 3000 strong corp lobbyist problem still and the revolving door from congress to lobbyist.
