During this interview I guest host "The Leslie Marshall Show."

I'm joined by Jonah Minkoff-Zern, Co-director of Public Citizen’s Democracy Is For People campaign for a constitutional amendment to overturn the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling and take control of our nation away from billionaires and big business and restore it to the people.

We discuss Secretary Clinton's new pledge that, if elected, within her first 30 days as President she would “propose a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and give the American people, all of us, a chance to reclaim our democracy.” Clinton also pledged to "fight for other progressive reforms, including small-dollar matching and disclosure requirements." Jonah and I discuss all three of these ideas in detail, including small-donor matching and how it could dramatically transform America's campaign finance system for the better.
