How a California Cab Driver Used Sand, Surf and 1,000 Bodies to Protest Citizens United

San Francisco cab driver Brad Newsham does not believe that corporations are people and that money is free speech. And he wanted to do something big to get his point across. So he went to the beach, brought a helicopter and 1,000 friends. This video shows what happened next.

To learn more about the important issue Newsham is protesting, read "10 Ways Citizens United Endangers Democracy" on Demos.

The video was originally posted on Upworthy, "What Is That Cab Driver Doing with a Helicopter, 1,000 Bodies and That Much Sand?"
