A group of Montana activists is pushing a ballot initiative attacking Citizens United, the U.S. Supreme Court decision that granted corporations the right to spend unlimited money in politics. Montana’s Republican Attorney General attempted to block the ballot initiative this week, but the fight is far from over.

In the third episode of Lever Time’s MONEYBOMB series, David Sirota sits down with political strategist Tom Moore from The Center for American Progress.

Could this effort deal a blow to the corporate takeover of politics? And could it blaze a path for other states to follow?
