California: U.S. House of Representatives, District 49 (No response listed from Darrell Issa, the incumbent Republican congressman.) Dave Peiser Democratic Party Candidate for Representative “I support amending the U.S. Constitution to make clear that corporations and other artificial entities do not have Constitutional rights and that money is not speech and campaign spending should be limited through regulation.” RESPONSE: Yes “I will use my office to support the Movement to Amend the Constitution by passing resolutions, proposing legislation, and publicly speaking out about the need for this Amendment.” RESPONSE: Yes How will you use your public office to end corporate constitutional rights and big money in politics? I will propose or support legislation which seeks to overturn the Supreme Court decisions that determined corporations have the same rights as people, as well as those determining money equals speech. I support campaign finance reform, and support the proposition of fully publicly financed elections. I support complete, real time transparency in political contributions, political advocacy groups, think tanks, lobbying, and access to elected officials by donors. Those in public office must serve the people, not monied interest groups. We must stop the revolving door in Washington DC, which has become a corrupting influence in our political system. What is Your Position on the 2010 Supreme Courts Citizens United Decision? I oppose the Citizens United decision and stand with the four dissenting Supreme Court Justices. I am in favor of attempts within the Senate to amend the Constitution, block corporations from receiving person-hood status.
