House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday endorsed a movement announced by other congressional Democrats on Wednesday to ratify an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow Congress to regulate political speech when it is engaged in by corporations as opposed to individuals.

The First Amendment says in part: "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.

She wants it changed !!

If this works towards overturning the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, I'm all for it.

Aren't News networks Cooperations?
anyway it would never pass, you need a super majority in Both houses, and because a Democrate Proposed it then it would automatically get universal Republican opposition.

Yes - the mainstream media cooperates with each other to ensure that real news is not reported and that they all get the same liberal spin right when they broadcast.

of course she wants it changed, in fact she wants the constitution as we have it now changed, just like the rest of the progressives, to start eliminating the bill of rights, among other things because the constitution gets in the way of the progressive agenda.

Yes they are corporations and business's, part of the reason for GOP would not support support this is it will counter the main stream media pushing the lefts agenda.

I don't see how this could work even if it were passed, what happens when Exxon launches the Exxon news hour?
