The Montana Plan of Hawaii

Hawaii just made Citizens United Irrelevant 

I didn't know what that was, so here is AI schlock:

what is citizens united

Citizens United is a conservative nonprofit organization known for the 2010 Supreme Court case that allowed unlimited independent political spending by corporations and unions.

The Organization

Citizens United is an American conservative nonprofit founded in 1988, dedicated to restoring government to citizens’ control through education, advocacy, and grassroots organization. Its stated mission emphasizes limited government, freedom of enterprise, strong families, and national sovereignty. The organization produces films, television commercials, and web content to promote socially conservative causes and candidates, and it operates under Section 501(c)(4) of the tax code, meaning donations are not tax-deductible. David Bossie has served as its president since 2000.

Citizens United v. FEC

The organization became widely known for the 2010 Supreme Court case, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. The case arose when Citizens United sought to air a film critical of then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, challenging campaign finance restrictions. The Supreme Court ruled 5–4 that corporations and unions have a First Amendment right to make independent expenditures in federal elections, striking down century-old limits on corporate spending that did not directly coordinate with candidates.

Impact on Campaign Finance

The ruling fundamentally changed U.S. elections by enabling unlimited independent spending by corporations, unions, and wealthy individuals. This led to the creation of super PACs, which can raise and spend unlimited funds independently of candidates, though they must disclose donors. The decision has been linked to a dramatic increase in political spending by billionaires and special interest groups, giving them outsized influence over elections and policy outcomes.

Critics argue this has contributed to the decline of democratic responsiveness, as the preferences of average citizens have less impact compared to wealthy donors.

Summary

In essence, Citizens United refers both to a political advocacy organization and a landmark Supreme Court decision that reshaped campaign finance in the United States. The organization promotes conservative values, while the court ruling has allowed unprecedented levels of independent political spending, significantly influencing modern U.S. elections and the role of money in politics.

The video is using the phrase Citizens United to refer to the 2010 Supreme Court ruling. The video indicates that the US Chamber of Commerce, the Petroleum Association and the Mining Association are already trying to stop it.

That's probably the National Mining Association, but I don't know which petroleum association they mean:

There are several petroleum associations, including the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) and the American Petroleum Institute (API), which represent and advocate for the oil and natural gas industry.

I am for fostering more environmentally-friendly mining practices, including panning for gold and dismantling current global diamond industry policies that intentionally cut out the little guy on the theory that individuals seeking diamonds must be funding guerilla warfare against their government and couldn't possibly just want to get rich themselves.

Those diamond policies are marketed as preventing blood diamonds or conflict diamonds, yet somehow multiple wars rage on and I believe most likely the diamond industry is part of keeping those wars alive.

I don't know what the US Chamber of Commerce is all about, but in the US some businesses with up to 500 employees are classified as small business, meanwhile there's a dearth of adequate support for micro enterprise that has historically been the lifeblood of this country not just financially but politically.

The Founding Fathers of the US advocated for the idea that small business owners were the most likely to speak their mind and vote their hearts. Servants and employees are vulnerable to voting in a way that pleases the people paying their bills.

Strong communities need locals who can stand their ground economically and politically. The global economy is currently top heavy and it's destabilizing everything, including big corporations who respond to that by becoming more psycho controlling and destructive of individual rights and welfare.
