Congressman Adam Schiff of California has introduced a joint resolution to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision.

The Supreme Court of the United States handed down its landmark decision in the Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission case on January 21, 2010. In that case, the conservative non-profit group Citizens United successfully argued that the government’s use of the 2002 “McCain-Feingold” campaign finance reform la... |
In a Jacobin interview, Noam Chomsky explained that the Citizens United decision was basically the last in a series of moves to completely eliminate restrictions on campaign funding in the United States.

This means that the politicians who do a better job of winning the favor of these big money interests are the ones who wind up in elected office, where remaining in the favor of those big money interests could be the key to their electoral success next time around.

The passage of an amendment to the Constitution like the one proposed by Adam Schiff faces a steep uphill climb, to say the absolute least.

Adam Schiff’s resolution for a constitutional amendment to overturn the Citizens United decision is only a first step, but in the long run, it could wind up being a big one. |
Cheering has become the official reflex of Red Sox nation. Thousands of sox fans warmed up their vocal chords yesterday as they waited for their two-time World Series champs to roll through Boston on World War II duck boats. |
Cheering has become the official reflex of Red Sox nation. |
Thousands of Sox fans warmed up their vocal chords yesterday as they waited for their two-time World Series champs to roll through Boston on World War II duck boats. |
And when the players and staff rolled through in 20 of the amphibious vehicles, it only got louder. |
``Re-sign Lowell,'' and ``Don't sign A-Rod'' chanted fans, instigated by Sox captain Jason Varitek. |
With two World Series titles in four years under their belt, fans agreed that Red Sox nation isn't calming down. |
With the last century behind us and the curse twice reversed for good measure, Andrew Bingham of Groton doesn't think future championships will be any less special. |
As promised, spectators enjoyed kilt-clad closer Jonathan Papelbon's famous jig. |
Papelbon danced on the truck carrying fellow pitchers Hideki Okajima and Mike Timlin and Boston band the Dropkick Murphys. |
Around 2 p.m., EMS paramedics on bicycles said there had been no serious injuries but that more than a dozen people were being treated for dehydration and diabetes-related illness. |
Boston Mayor Thomas Menino wouldn't estimate the anticipated size of the crowd, but worried on Monday that students wouldn't be able to attend the weekday parade. |
But the timing of the ``rolling rally'' didn't stop students, college-aged and younger, from filling the streets from Fenway to City Hall Plaza. |
``I don't have class on Tuesday, but if I did, I would skip it,'' said Bingham, who attends Suffolk University. |
In the spirit of celebration, parents and the governor seemed willing to look the other way. |
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick sat down with NECN's Alison King on Tuesday to reflect on the eight years he spent in office. |
Gov. Patrick considers one of his greatest achievements to be the state's economy, which he described as "thriving." |
"It's growing twice as fast as the national growth rate, we have a 25 year high unemployment, we lead the nation in student achievement and health care coverage and veterans services and energy efficiency," Patrick explained. |
This past year, Gov. Patrick was criticized over problems involving the state's Department of Children and Families and the Mass. Health Connector; however, he will be remembered for how he handled the 2008 market crash, the Boston Marathon bombing, and his work with the life sciences. |
"I wish we had made more progress getting pressure off the property tax. I still believe that the property tax is overrated," Gov. Patrick said, when asked about what he wish he had the opportunity to address. |
In addition, Patrick said he wishes he had been able to do more work with sentencing reform, including an end to mandatory minimum sentences. |
Gov. Patrick says he will miss moments with Massachusetts citizens that he has been able to help. When asked about his future plans, Patrick has been consistent with his answer to pursue a future in the private sector. Gov. Patrick also addressed if he is interested in running for president in the future. |
"I hadn't been thinking about running for president. I've had an astonishing and humbling range of people from all sort of stations from all parts of the country asking me to think seriously about it. If I think seriously about it I know it has to a family decision and I think as a family, we couldn't possibly get read... |
The missing adult alert has been canceled. |
Authorities say the 79-year-old at the center of a missing adult alert has been found safe. |
The Brook Park Police Department issued the alert when James Doud left his home on Almont Drive around 5 p.m. Monday and never returned. |
No additional details about where he was found was made available. |
Seeking to inspire public service, “Unconditional” tells the story of a fatherless boy who breaks the cycle by offering to others what his father withheld from him: sacrifice and love. |
Flashbacks from “Papa” Joe Bradford’s (Ealy) childhood tell the story of an idealistic boy with dreams of becoming a black samurai. He has an insatiable appetite for heroism and desperately wants to shield those he loves from harm. The natural bond that he develops with Samantha Crawford (Lynn Collins) puts this to the... |
It’s in this yearning to defend his friends that we see Joe repeatedly morph from a sweet-natured person into a violent aggressor. From the playground to the prison yard, he often shows uncontrollable rage when responding to conflict. |
A near-death experience brought about by a snake bite gives us a clue as to where this anger originates from. As he lies in a hospital bed questioning his grandmother about his father’s whereabouts, Joe reveals his greatest fear — that his daddy doesn’t love him. Everything Joe says and does from that point on can be l... |
Joe’s story is not an uncommon one, as the movie points out. According to a U.S. Census Bureau report, 22 million children (in the United States alone) are growing up in homes where they only have one custodial parent, and mothers are that parent the majority of times (82.2 percent). Among black children, about half (4... |
The nickname “Papa” was born out of Joe's commitment to ensuring that the young people in his neighborhood didn't grow up feeling unloved like he did. While Joe lives in the projects and struggles daily to overcome kidney disease, he becomes a wellspring of joy and motivation for countless children, such as Macon (Kwes... |
“My dream is that ‘Unconditional’ inspires cities to unite in love to rescue one of our most precious commodities: thousands of at-risk and fatherless children torn by poverty and oppression,” said the real-life Joe Bradford in a statement. He and his wife, Denise, founded Elijah’s Heart, a nonprofit organization whose... |
Joe’s example was also what helped Samantha begin to repair her life after the murder of her husband. The film begins with her wanting to commit suicide, but ends with her finding hope and a sense of purpose. Serving children is inextricable from the redemption that Joe and Samantha experience, challenging us to think ... |
Joe credited the 40 days he spent in solitary confinement while incarcerated for bringing about a spiritual transformation that changed the course of his life. In a moment of utter darkness and depravity, he discovered the internal validation that comes from knowing that you are a child of God. |
Prison teaches him the lesson of a lifetime: No matter what cards life has dealt you, no matter what mistakes you have made in your past, there is power to be found in embracing God’s unwavering, constant love for you. He spends the remainder of his life trying to offer to others the same unconditional love that God of... |
“Unconditional” shouldn’t be reduced to a pick-yourself-up-by-your-own-bootstraps message. It does much more than just encourage its viewers to take control of their own destinies. By finding the inner strength and help needed to overcome his circumstances, Papa Joe should inspire us all to live for something beyond ou... |

Is Lil Wayne the most arrogant rapper? |
James Hird has revealed he will be joining Triple M in an expert commentary role starting with his former club's attempt at redemption against St Kilda on Saturday. |
Hird, who reportedly knocked back an offer to join Fremantle as an opposition analyst, was lost to the game after his tumultuous tenure at the helm of the Bombers. |
But the 46-year-old - who insists he "loves the game and have always loved the game" - is returning to radio. |
He will be charged with dissecting Essendon, which was arguably the most disappointing team in round one as John Worsfold's side slumped to a 72-point away defeat against GWS. |
"I was hoping it'd be an easier game to commentate, but after the goings-on on the weekend it might be a bit more controversial," he told Triple M. |
